Have you had the experience yet of walking onto a plane with your infant and having everyone look at you like you are carrying the bubonic plague? The prospect of traveling with an infant will strike fear into the heart of even the most seasoned parent.  

But it doesn't have to be that way!

In this class you'll learn how to make summer travel easier for the whole family. What to pack, where to go and the disasters that you will want to sidestep will all be part of the discussion. There are many things that you can do to make traveling with babies less stressful.  

We will talk about ways to keep your baby healthy while you're on the road and since this is often a time when we travel to introduce our babies to new family members, we'll also discuss how to handle the "suggestions" and criticisms that can come up when we bring our babies around other family members.

Being prepared in advance goes a long way towards helping you relax and have fun.

The cost of this class is $20 or you can purchase a series of classes at a lower rate.
