Boost
parent confidence …Promote breast feeding…Enhance parent-child bonding
AWARD-WINNING One day Continuing Education Training
(approved for 6 hours credit by DONA, ICEA , CAPPA, and NC Nurses
Association)
HUG Your Baby Training
is an innovative approach to helping parents understand their baby’s body
language in order to prevent and solve problems around a baby’s eating,
sleeping, crying, and parent-child attachment.
Teach parents about three
newborn Zones (Resting,
Ready, & Rebooting Zone) and how to get their
baby to the
best Zone for
eating, playing and sleeping. Identify and respond effectively to a newborn’s “SOSs” (Signs
of Over-Stimulation)
which include body changes in color, movement, and breathing; and
behavioral changes:
“Spacing Out,” Switching Off,” & “Shutting Down.”
Skill building enhanced by
review of child development literature, sharing of engaging real-life
stories, analysis of video clips,
demonstration of HUG techniques, group
and individual practice and problem solving, role playing, and evaluating case
studies.

Feedback about this class:
"This
HUG class gave my nurses a new
perspective on how to help parents understand and interact with their babies.
'I will never think the same way about babies again!' one explains."

educational program that captures the subtle ways newborns communicate. The HUG
is a gift for any new parents starting that parent-child relationship.”
