One of the best parts of being a new parent today is there are so many great resources. One of my favorite resources is the BabyCenter Courses. They have Infant CPR and first aid course, play course, and sleeping course. I wish these courses existed when I was pregnant with my daughter. While reviewing these courses, particularly the first aid course, I learned so many great tips I can use today. BabyCenter Courses are perfect courses for a new or seasoned parent.

Yes, BabyCenter gets input from a Medical Advisory Board. Their goal is to provide helpful and trustworthy pregnancy and parenting information to every parent across the world. Since they have a Medical Advisory Board, their medical content is accurate and up to date on all information related to pregnancy and children’s development and health.

My Experience with BabyCenter Courses

As I mentioned earlier, I wish these BabyCenter courses existed when I was pregnant with my daughter. While reviewing these courses, particularly the first aid course, I learned so many great tips I can use today. Baby Center Courses are perfect courses for a new or expectant parent.

Each lesson of the BabyCenter courses starts with a 2-15 minute long video with an expert, such as a pediatrician in the case of the Infant CPR and First Aid Course, talking with a host. The videos are short and with easily digestible information. The lesson also comes with a downloadable pdf of the notes so you can keep what you learned with you without having to write it down yourself. There are also little quizzes throughout the course to test your knowledge.

I found these courses incredibly easy to pay attention to and come back to when I was done for the day. In fact, when I logged back into the courses to finish up my lesson before writing this blog post it saved exactly where I was in the video. Incredible! I was so impressed by that fact alone.

Although my daughter is no longer an infant, I still found the information in these BabyCenter courses valuable and talked about them to my friend who is expecting her first child. I would be willing to pay for these courses, especially during the pandemic many local parenting courses were canceled.

What do I learn in the BabyCenter Courses Infant CPR class?

You’ll learn basic first aid. What you can treat at home and also when it is time to call your child’s doctor or seek care from the ER.

You’ll also learn about water safety and emergency preparedness. The downloadable pdfs include, lesson notes, stocking a first aid kit, medicine dosing, infant CPR and more.

What do I learn in the BabyCenter Courses Play Course?

In the BabyCenter Play course, you’ll learn which milestones to look out for during all the different ages, as well as when to raise concerns up with the pediatrician. Something I appreciated as a Preemie Mom is it was discussed how preemies fall into the timeline. One of the things I loved most about this course is it gave ideas on the different toys you can use to help with milestones.

The course is broken up into sections with an introduction, 0-3 months, 3-9, 9-15, and developmental delays. And just like in the Infant CPR class, there are downloadable pdfs.

This course is broken up into sections with an introduction with advice you’ll use throughout your baby’s first year, stage one (1-12 weeks), stage two (3-5 months), stage three (6+ months), and finding support. This course, like the previous courses, comes with downloadable pdfs.
