Baby 101: Newborn Care Class in Zurich – Everything You Need to Know About Bringing Your Baby Home
The first days and weeks with your newborn are magical — but they can also feel overwhelming.
Our Baby 101 newborn care class in Zurich is here to guide you through it all, so you feel confident, calm, and ready for parenthood.
In this hands-on newborn baby workshop, you’ll learn everything most parents wish they had known before those first sleepless nights. From feeding, soothing, and sleep basics to diapering, bonding, and realistic expectations of the fourth trimester, we’ll cover the essentials that give you peace of mind and set you up for a smooth start at home.
What You’ll Learn in Baby 101
-
Newborn essentials checklist: what you really need (and what you don’t) for your baby
-
Feeding your baby: breastfeeding and bottle-feeding tips, burping, and understanding newborn cluster feeding
-
Sleep survival strategies: what newborn sleep patterns look like, safe sleep guidelines, and how to soothe a crying baby at night
-
Diapering & bathing: hands-on practice in caring for your baby’s everyday needs
-
Bonding & connection: skin-to-skin contact, responding to your baby’s cues, and building confidence as new parents
-
The first week at home: what to expect, how to manage exhaustion, and when to ask for help
How You Benefit
Not only do we dive deep into the 4th trimester essentials (feeding, sleep, soothing, bonding), but this class also offers a unique opportunity to build your parent network.
You’ll meet other expecting mums and dads who are preparing for a baby around the same time as you — forming connections that often grow into long-lasting friendships and support systems. Having a group of like-minded parents by your side makes the early days of parenthood easier, more joyful, and much less lonely.
❤️ I personally treasure the friends I met at this workshop.
About Your Host
Hi! My name is Mags Salton.
I’ve just had my third baby and, alongside my personal journey, I’m a certified Montessori teacher for children and their parents (newborn to 3 years, AMI Assistant to Infancy Diploma).
I know first-hand how powerful it is to step into this new life chapter with knowledge and support. Understanding what to expect after giving birth is truly a game-changer: instead of feeling overwhelmed, you get to begin life as a family empowered, reassured, and confident in caring for your baby.
Whether this is your first baby or you’re looking for a refresher, Baby 101 is your newborn survival toolkit. Leave with the confidence to welcome your little one home feeling prepared, supported, and ready for the adventure ahead.
What parents are saying:
"We really loved the workshop and learned a lot. I love the fact that certain tips were given with reference to biology/human nature, so it’s easier to understand why we need to care for a baby in a certain way. I would totally recommend your course to everyone. Big compliment:)
– Paulina
"We would 100% recommend the workshop especially to other parents to be, who are also new to the game and don’t have too many baby’s in the family/ friends circle yet. We will spread the word and look out for more courses!!"
– Nadja
For my husband the whole concept of „fourth trimester“ was even new and did provide him lots of insights. Furthermore, I loved the structure of the course and how you walked us through the „daily routine“ (if you can call like this). Small little practical Tips on how to wash, which equipment to use for diaper change, which toys to use for a newborn etc were very helpful. - as you can tell newbies to the baby topic!
- Nadja
Such a great workshp - a really good place to start: great group, trainer, facility. And very good to have received documentation along with it.
