For information on Grandparents Class, I do a Grandparent class on third
night of Prepared Childbirth Class, their are magazines you can get i will
have to get publisher name and send you that info, the class is three fold 1
the grandparent tell about their birth experience, were they prepared???
coach present, type of medication, etc, and i tell them at the beginning of
class no violent stories these are first time parents and in the past some
grandparents got a little graphic and they also tell if they breast or bottle
fed, and we  take the  tour  and they see the changes ldrp concept and
rooming in, that is the part i get in on tour no water , supportive
breastfeeding and then we return for regular class for the couples and last
we discuss the changes in newborn care since the grandparents delivered of
course 1. nutrition,  no water ,no cereal at three weeks and what the
American academy of ped recommends as far as when to start solids, and teach
them to respect parents views , that we are eating better these days , always
telling them they are valuable resources 2. safety all new information re
walkers, car seats etc, babyprofing their home taking Infant child c.p.r.
and 3. sleeping positioning this one is not quite as controversial as
nutrition but close their babies slept on their tummies always adding the
info on breastfeeding and s.i.d.s and how important tummy time is, the class
is a big hit on a sat morning class a grandparent walked in and said i don't
know how you are going to keep me interested for 3 hours and at the end of
the class received excellent evual which i have a separate one for them to
complete before they leave, we in the past had grandparent class separate and
they were not well attended and now with 12 or 13 couples in class i have had
a s many as 60 people attend and it helps them feel apart of their  child's
birth experience, and if they weren't supportive of breastfeeding which some
of them did not succeed and they are very negative and discourage
breastfeeding this helps that support for the mom . please email me privately
for any other info. Sande Park

any precautions she should take working and breastfeeding?
