List of Classes

Baby Basics

When you bring home a new baby you never know exactly what to expect.  But there are a few things you can count on for sure…challenges, surprises, love, happiness and laughter! Our baby basics class is designed to provide parents with up-to-date information on newborn care including feeding, typical newborn behavior, sleeping, swaddling, diapering options and techniques, bathing, umbilical cord care, circumcision care, health, safety and much more.

This class can not only help you be ready for your child, but it will help you manage your “new” life more easily.

Baby Massage

Teaching expectant families how to deal with a fussy, colic, upset baby through baby massage instruction. This is also a great opportunity to create a bonding experience for all.

Breastfeeding Class

A certified lactation counselor instructs the course. Topics discussed in classes vary among latch, the importance of the first few hours baby is born, methods to increase milk production and much more. Our lactation counselor will help you to feel more confident and be more prepared so that you may successfully breastfeed your infant. Women only please. Please see our Monthly Calendar for class dates/times.

Car Seat Installation/Check

Accidental injury is the number one cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States.  Each year one out of every four children needs medical attention for an accidental injury, so Belly Bliss / Desert Perinatal Associates has teamed up with Safe Kids Clark County to continue to provide our patients with the best care for their families.  Safe Kids is a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of injuries to children.  Safe Kids is on-site at Belly Bliss the 4th Saturday of every month from 9am to noon.

4 out of every 5 car seats are used incorrectly…Could yours be one of them?  Call us today to set up your appointment.

You will also be able to identify infant choking and be able to take the steps necessary to possibly save an infant’s life. Please see our Monthly Calendar for sign up deadlines and class dates/times.

Mommy and Baby Yoga

Mom’s Yoga  is geared for moms of all abilities and provides a total body workout with the benefits of yoga.  Special attention is placed on developing core strength and stability – with emphasis on strengthening the back and abdomen, as well as relieving tension in the neck, shoulders and back.

Our class is very informal and lively, and there is no pressure or expectation for your baby to “behave” in a certain way! Part of the yoga practice is welcoming the babies as they are, learning to create awareness and breathing instead of tension and stress.

Previous yoga experience is not necessary to  benefit from the classes, and women who have practiced yoga before will find Mom’s Yoga is a great way to transition back to their pre-pregnancy practice and continue their practice with baby in tow!  Options are given so every mom creates the yoga practice she desires.

Throughout the class, moms will stop to feed or soothe their babies and will rejoin the movements when it is possible and comfortable to do so. Sometimes during class moms will chat, kids will scream and run, and babies will cry. It’s ok!  We focus on being internally calm in the midst of chaos.  Come get a full yoga workout, de-stress your body, bond with your child, meet new moms, and become more flexible!
