Why Every New Parent Should Take a CPR Class

When you bring your new baby home, you naturally want to do everything you can to protect them. Learning CPR and basic first aid is one of the most important (and empowering) things you can do as a new parent.

Why CPR Training Matters

Infants are more vulnerable to choking, breathing issues, and emergencies simply because their bodies are still developing. Knowing how to respond quickly and effectively could save your baby's life in a critical moment.

What You'll Learn in a CPR Class

• How to identify signs of distress or choking

• How to perform infant CPR and rescue breathing

• Proper techniques for clearing airway obstructions

• How to respond to emergencies like drowning, seizures, or allergic reactions

Confidence in the Unexpected

Emergencies are rare—but being prepared brings an incredible sense of peace. Parents who take a CPR class often feel more confident in their caregiving abilities and are less likely to panic in an emergency situation.

Ongoing Safety

CPR skills aren't just for infancy. As your child grows, these lifesaving skills can be crucial during toddlerhood and early childhood.

At Mama Bear & Newborn Care, we always recommend new parents, grandparents, and caregivers take an infant and child CPR class as part of their preparation for bringing baby home.
