Putnam Hospital Holds Series of Free Parenting Classes

On Saturday, November 20, the Birthing Center at Putnam Hospital Center will offer a series of free parenting classes at the hospital at 670 Stoneleigh Avenue in Carmel.

Included in the series will be a Baby Boot Camp (from 10 to 11 am), an interactive class geared for new or adoptive parents either before or after delivery that reviews basic newborn care issues and helps parents set realistic expectations for their baby’s first few months; a Sibling Class (from 8 to 9 am), open to youngsters three years of age and older, designed to ease the transition of becoming a big brother or sister; and a Grandparenting Class (from 9 to 10 am), which discusses the changes that have occurred in childcare since the grandparents raised their children.

Class sizes are limited and there is no fee for any of the courses, however, registration is required. For information and to register, please call the Birthing Center at Putnam Hospital Center at 845-279-5711, Ext. 2518.
