WHAT OUR CLASS ATTENDEES SAY…
“We took the online VIDEO Childbirth Education class. We liked the option of having access to the video for a month since it is so hard to absorb the enormous amount of critical information about the birthing process in one setting. The video was very informative and I learned a lot of new and helpful information. It was also great to have a virtual Q&A session after watching the video because we were able to ask many questions to the instructor. They were so generous with their time when answering our questions and their responses were very thoughtful and comprehensive. I would highly recommend them!”- “My wife and I were expecting our first child and looking for resources to help us prepare. Nested really helped us learn what to expect and be ready. We purchased the 1-month membership access for the Nested Childbirth Education online VIDEO class and took the LIVE Virtual Newborn Care and Infant CPR class, both of which were EXCELLENT. Nidhi went above and beyond to make sure we understood the infant CPR and choking procedures. That personal attention helped make our pregnancy prep so much more enjoyable and it’s something I will always be thankful for. Thanks for helping make the pregnancy journey so much better for us. I highly recommend Nested for their expertise and their personal touch.”
- “The Newborn Care & Infant CPR class was incredibly helpful, informative, and non-judgmental. We highly recommend these classes to all first-time parents or even seasoned parents who might want a refresher.”
- “We took the LIVE Virtual Newborn Care & Infant CPR class and the LIVE Virtual Childbirth Education class. Thank you, Nested and Nidhi, for all the help and advice. We felt so much more prepared with the Nested courses!”
- “My husband & I both found the in-person Newborn Care & Infant CPR class to be so helpful. As ‘older’ first time parents with no real experience with babies, we needed all the help we can get! We also enjoyed the online VIDEO Childbirth Education class and the facilitated Q&A very useful and informative. Thank you for continuing to have these classes, really appreciate it!”
- “My partner and I are first time parents and pretty clueless when it comes to taking care of a baby, especially a newborn. We took Nested’s Newborn Care/Infant CPR class and found it extremely helpful. We were able to learn infant CPR, how to swaddle a baby, and what to expect the first few days/weeks home from the hospital. The resource guide is a great thing to have to refer back to as we get ready to welcome our baby girl. Thank you, Nidhi for all of the wonderful information!”
