Help siblings-to-be feel special about their new role! Our one-time class for children (ages two years and above) and their expecting parent/s teaches swaddling, diapering, and handling a newborn with the use of life-like dolls, as well as a story about the birth of new baby and what to expect when mom goes to the hospital. Classes at the hospital also include a tour of a room on the labor and delivery floor. Families who plan to deliver at hospitals other than University of Michigan are encouraged to attend as well.

Children receive a certificate of completion and a big brother/sister button to wear to the hospital when they meet their new sibling.
