My husband and I have very little experience with babies. It's embarrassing, but we don't really know anything about feeding, bathing, diapering babies. We have no friends with kids and live far from our families.
I don't think my husband would read a book, but he has expressed interest in taking classes or watching DVDs. I was wondering which, if any, DVDs or classes you'd recommend for: breastfeeding, labor and delivery, and general baby care. I looked up La Leche League but all of the meetings in my area are during the workday so not feasible.
Thanks in advance!
Re: DVD and class recommendations
My husband and I didn't go to any classes (it didn't fit in with our work schedules) so I bought the DVD "Laugh and Learn about Childbirth". It was decent. I think it did a good job at preparing my husband for labor and delivery.
We didn't do parenting classes, my hospital made you watch a series of videos about feedings, bathing, etc before they would even let you leave the hospital with your baby. I also had a lactation consultant visit me 2 times before I left (and I visited their office once after coming home). Check to see what your hospital offers (a lot of places will have lactation consultants that come and see you while you are there).
I got mine from the local library.
