A baby’s arrival into the world is one of the most beautiful and at the same time most exciting moments in a new family. But along with this moment come hundreds of questions: How do you properly care for a newborn? Is everything okay with my baby? How do I understand what is normal and what requires attention? To help new parents feel safe and confident, Māmiņu Klubs invites you to an online lecture, where over the course of two hours certified pediatric nurse, long-time childbirth course instructor, and support person for expectant parents Elita Svareniece will help explain:
