My helper has never taken care of a newborn before and I am due in less than 5 weeks. Want to send her for a course to learn the basics about newborn care. Pls recommend.

Mother and Child (information taken from their website: http://www.motherandchild.com.sg/first-aid.php) First Aid for Helpers This is a series of three 2-hour classes that incorporates CPR, First Aid, emergency procedures, hygiene, play and stimulation for children. It is taught in English, and attention is given to making sure that the information has been absorbed. Class 1: CPR for Babies and Children. Class 2: Review of CPR, First Aid and Emergency Procedures. Class 3: Hygiene in the Kitchen, Play and Stimulation of Babies and Young Children. Not very comprehensive in terms of learning to take care of babies. But good as a add-on.

Mine did the mother and child course where she learnt the basics of baby care n infant CPR. They also cover how to feed, burp and wash a baby, change nappies and sterilize etc. TMC also offers a similar course: http://www.thomsonmedical.com/infantcare-training-programme/

The one conducted by People's Association has gotten alot of press time and good reviews. Also the one suggested on Parentlink sounds good too: http://www.parentlink.org/pregnant_singapore_birth_doula/15training/dunstan.htm
