Understanding Infant Behavior is based on research from the Human Lactation Center at UC Davis. In this class, parents will learn about normal infant behavior, including infant cues, reasons babies cry, and healthy infant sleep patterns. Parents will learn their own baby’s "language" to help them meet the needs of their child. The goal of the class is for parents to leave feeling more confident about their parenting skills and to have ways to cope with infant crying and inconsistent sleeping patterns. This class is most appropriate for parents with infants aged 0-4 months. Both parents are encouraged to attend and infants are welcome.
