Class Topics

We discuss developmental milestones, how to foresee the new safety challenges that arise as babies become more mobile and skilled, and how to let baby explore his world while still keeping him safe from harm.

Specific topics include:

• safety-proofing your home
• motor vehicle safety
• sleep safety
• suffocation prevention
• choking prevention and treatment
• preventing fires and burns
• drowning prevention
• poisoning prevention and treatment

Infant CPR and choking rescue are demonstrated and practiced. At the class, you will receive a packet of handouts with invaluable information on all the safety topics we cover.

Logistics

The fee for this class covers two adults.

This class can be taken before baby's birth, or when baby is young (i.e. under 8 months old).

It is recommended that parents leave babies with a babysitter if possible, to allow them to concentrate on class material, but if necessary, you can bring baby along. (We do ask that you take baby out to the hallway if s/he is distracting others.)

Time/Place: Class is 3 hours long, and is taught at a Seattle Children's facility at 70th and Sand Point Way, and at Northwest Hospital in North Seattle.

Great Starts safety classes are offered in collaboration with Seattle Children’s.
