Deaconess Memorial Medical Center Offers Class For Expectant and New Parents: “Baby Behavior”

Would you like to better understand your baby’s wants and needs? Expectant parents in the last trimester are invited to attend Deaconess Memorial Medical Center’s “Baby Behavior” class held on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. 

Using current research on baby behavior, our class instructors will help you better understand your baby. The class will teach parents about things such as infant sleep, feeding cues, engagement and disengagement cues, and crying. The class will help parents become not only more relaxed but also more confident in their new role as parents.  

     It is highly recommended parents take this class before the baby arrives. However, if parents are unable to, this class can be helpful for parents within the first 1-2 months of the baby being born as well.      

This class is being held in Deaconess Memorial Medical Center’s Board Conference Room B/C at 800 W. 9^th Street, Jasper. 

    It is free to those who are delivering at Deaconess Memorial Medical Center or $15. The “Baby Behavior” classes are conducted by qualified obstetrical nursing personnel.
