The Ultimate Baby Prep Course
Must-have info for baby's first year.
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.
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.

Read LessWe made BabyCenter Courses because we believe that every parent should have access to advice from top pediatric experts. 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. For more details, click here.
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.
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.
Absolutely! Caregivers and babysitters of all types will also benefit from knowing this helpful (and essential!) information.
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!
Yes! Email customerservice@babycenter.com, and we can help you upgrade your purchase.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We feel strongly about making BabyCenter Courses widely accessible. So each month, we give out a limited number of free courses to parents who couldn’t otherwise afford them. All we ask in return is for an honest review. If you’d like to apply for this program, click here.
