Parenting classes empower you with an informed and supported childbirth experience
Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health in Dallas, Texas, has engaged North Dallas Doula Associates to help empower and educate families with specialized, boutique-style classes.
We are excited to share our classes, full of evidence-based techniques and designed for the specific needs of birthing patients and their partners.
Childbirth and family support classes
In our childbirth classes, couples will learn everything they need to know to have the informed birth they desire. Childbirth classes are currently being held virtually.
Following class enrollment, class details will be sent via email and will include a pre-recorded class video and live Zoom Q&A session.
We believe that all families matter, and we are invested in helping you navigate your unique and intentional birth and postpartum experience.
Breastfeeding and newborn classes
Breastfeeding class (in-person)
In this class, we will discuss what to expect when parenting a breastfed infant, how to prepare to breastfeed, pitfalls and "booby traps" to avoid, and where to go for support and help along the way.
This class will set you up to identify normal newborn behavior, infant feeding cues, proper latch and positioning, frequency and duration of feedings, understanding supply and demand, as well as the importance of input and output in your newborn.
Breastfeeding class (online)
Learn about breastfeeding from the comfort of your home. Not every family is able to attend parent education classes in person, while others learn better with a self-study class. This interactive, web-based instruction contains animated illustrations, videos and games to make learning easy and fun.
