Get specific step-by-step advice from experts who've seen it all

They've helped thousands of other parents – and they know what works.

  • Learn lifesaving skills: easy-to-follow instructions for infant CPR, choking maneuvers, managing fevers, and more – these are the skills you want to learn before you actually need them.

  • Baby sleep 101: learn how to set up the perfect sleep space, cope with sleep deprivation, and understand your baby's sleep cues to help prevent an overtired, fussy baby.

  • Get more sleep: handle night wakings, short (or no!) naps, and sleep regressions with a plan that's tailored to your family's needs.

  • Make the most of playtime: it's more than just fun and games! We'll guide you through age-based activities that will help your baby achieve milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking.

Coping with sleep deprivation

Meet your hosts

Each topic is co-hosted by a top expert and a parent, who asks them the exact questions you're sure to have

C. Anthoney Lim, M.D., M.S.

Director of pediatric emergency medicine

Dr. Lim is a dad with a young son and a top pediatric ER doctor (actually, the top pediatric ER doctor for the Mount Sinai Health System). He went into medicine to help parents, as well as little ones, get the care they need when worst-case scenarios happen. He’s so diligent about safety, in fact, that he continued cutting his son’s grapes well into the school-age years.

Olufunke Afolabi-Brown, M.D.

Pediatric sleep physician

Dr. Brown is proud mom to two children who have both had their own sleep issues in the past. She's a board certified pediatric pulmonary and sleep medicine physician, so she takes her duty to share sleep advice that's safe (and works!) very seriously. In 2021, she founded Restful Sleep MD, where she helps families prioritize and improve their sleep. She lives in Philadelphia with her family.

Michelle Tiflinsky, M.S., OTR/L

Pediatric occupational therapist

Michelle has two young daughters who've taught her how challenging it can be to follow the advice of medical professionals with your own kids. She's a pediatric occupational therapist with more than a decade of experience, and she founded Purposeful Play NYC in New York City to help give parents movement- and play-based ideas that are actually easy to do at home – and that help foster children's development.

Anna Jimenez Lyle

BabyCenter Parent Contributor

Anna is a proud mom to a son who has experienced more than his fair share of bumps and bruises, as well as many a sleepless night. She's also a mama who's wondered (and worried) about when her son would start walking. As the parent host of this course, Anna uses her 10+ years of journalism experience to ask the questions that she knows most parents have for these top experts.

I can't believe how much I learned!

Ashley

Even as a mom of three, it's great to hear the most up-to-date information and try new techniques or even old ones that I have long forgotten.

Dr. Brown is amazing and her tips work! My 11-month-old now sleeps through the night, which means my husband and I are getting more rest, too!

I loved the demonstrations. The quiz at the end was a great way to test how much I absorbed from the videos. I have already put together a first aid kit!

Frequently asked questions

  • What’s included when I buy the course?

    So much! You’ll get all of the content from our three BabyCenter Courses: Infant CPR and First Aid, The BabyCenter 3-Stage Sleep Solution, and Meeting Physical Milestones Through Play. That includes 61 bite-sized videos (totaling more than five hours of material) on all of the baby safety, sleep, and milestones topics that BabyCenter parents ask about the most. We're talking CPR, fevers, choking hazards, when to call the pediatrician, naps, getting baby to sleep through the night, safe sleep, typical developmental timelines, and so much more.

    Each video also comes with a PDF download of lesson notes (so you don’t have to take them yourself!). And there are even optional quizzes to test how well you’ve retained the information, as well as bonus downloads.

    There are also private community groups within the BabyCenter Community that are exclusively for parents and caregivers who are taking our courses.

  • When’s the best time to take this course?

    Expecting parents tell us that they like taking our Ultimate Baby Prep Course during the second or third trimester, before the baby arrives and life gets busier.

    That said, it’s not too late to take this course if your baby is already here. All of the content is designed to focus on your baby’s first year, but there’s also a lot of great safety info that will help you well into the toddler years and beyond – on topics including pediatric CPR and choking rescue maneuvers, fevers, bumps and bruises, and so much more.

  • I’m not a parent – can I still take this?

    Absolutely! Caregivers and babysitters of all types will also benefit from knowing this helpful (and essential!) information.

  • What makes this different from other baby courses?

    First and foremost, our courses are taught by top experts who are also parents themselves: a pediatric ER doctor, a pediatric sleep physician, and a pediatric occupational therapist. Because of their unique experiences in the field, they’re able to offer the most helpful advice possible.

    We've also paired them with Anna Jimenez Lyle, a mom who learns alongside you in the course and asks the questions we know come up most often for parents and caregivers.

    And at $99 for all three topics bundled into one course, it’s a phenomenal deal!

  • I already bought one of the courses – can I upgrade to the bundle?

    Yes! Email customerservice@babycenter.com, and we can help you upgrade your purchase.

  • What if I have questions not addressed in the course?

    The course is quite comprehensive, but if you have a question that isn’t answered, we encourage you to take advantage of our private community groups for parents and caregivers enrolled in our courses. In addition to utilizing the groups for support and seeing what other parents are asking, you can rest assured that BabyCenter editors will be checking back weekly to answer common questions that come up.

  • How long will I have access?

    You’ll have access to everything within the course for 12 months. We also encourage you to save or print the PDF downloads included in the class, which ensures that you’ll be able to reference all of the helpful information in them for years to come.

  • Why does this course cost money?

    We made BabyCenter Courses because we believe that every parent should have access to the best advice possible, from the best pediatric experts possible. Course fees allow us to partner with top healthcare professionals, some of whom typically have months-long waitlists.

    We work with these experts to create and medically review all of the information in the course, as well as to package it in a format that’s easy to digest, complete with short videos and PDF downloads that you can re-reference whenever you need them.

  • What if I’m not happy with the course after I purchase it?

    We’re positive that you’ll love our courses – and we will happily give your money back if for some reason you’re not satisfied within 30 days of your purchase date.

    We encourage you to visit our extended FAQs for more details on this policy, as well as answers to other questions you might have.
