Prepare for your baby’s arrival with practical skills, evidence-based information, and hands-on practice. The Baby Basics Workshop is an interactive, 2-hour class designed for expecting parents and their support people who want to feel more confident caring for a newborn and navigating the first days and weeks after birth.

Choose between a group workshop at one of our community locations or a private 1:1 workshop in the comfort of your own home or preferred space. Private workshops offer a personalized experience tailored to your family's needs, with the option to practice using your own baby gear or equipment provided by Aurillow Collective.

This workshop goes beyond simply talking about newborn care—you’ll have opportunities to practice skills using realistic baby dolls, newborn supplies, feeding equipment, and other hands-on learning tools. We’ll walk through what to expect from the hospital or birth setting through the transition home, with plenty of time for questions along the way.

During the workshop, we’ll cover:

• Newborn care

• Feeding your baby

• Newborn sleep & safety

• Car-seat basics.

• Postpartum recovery

• The first days & weeks

• Building your support system

The workshop is designed to be welcoming, interactive, and judgment-free. There isn’t one “right” way to become a parent, and families are encouraged to ask questions and participate at whatever level feels comfortable.

Partners and support people are encouraged to attend. You’ll leave with practical skills, resources to reference at home, and a better idea of what to expect as you welcome your baby.

Feeding your baby is personal, and support should reflect your goals, your baby, and your family. Aurillow provides individualized lactation and infant feeding support for families navigating breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, combination feeding, and transitions in their feeding journey.

Virtual / in-home visits provide time to discuss your concerns, assess what is happening with feeding, answer questions, and develop a realistic plan together. Support may include positioning and latch, milk supply concerns, pumping and flange fit, bottle feeding, feeding cues, returning to work, combination feeding, infant weight checks, and other common feeding questions.

Whether you are preparing prenatally, troubleshooting a challenge after birth, or simply want reassurance that feeding is going well, the goal is to help you feel supported and confident in the choices that work for your family.

Parenthood doesn’t stop being new once you bring your baby home. Beyond: The New Parent Circle is a welcoming postpartum space for new parents and their support people to connect, ask questions, share experiences, and receive ongoing guidance during the early months of parenthood.

Each gathering provides space to talk about what is actually happening at home—from feeding and newborn sleep to postpartum recovery, changing relationships, returning to work, and adjusting to life with a baby. Come with questions, come to connect with other parents, or simply come because you could use a little extra support.

Topics are guided by the needs of the group, so each gathering may look a little different. You do not need to have attended an Aurillow prenatal class or Baby Basics Workshop to join.
