Expecting or new dad in Spring Valley?

Nobody is born knowing how to swaddle. Ask the hospital or birthing center that serves Spring Valley whether its childbirth or newborn classes include dads, and practice on a doll before the big day. Once the baby is home, claim a routine of your own — bath, bottle or burp duty — so caring for your child becomes second nature.

  • Ask about dad-friendly childbirth or newborn classes nearby
  • Pick one daily care routine that’s yours
  • Learn safe-sleep basics (Safe to Sleep campaign)
