Parenting Classes with Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates

Having a baby is exciting, but it can also be stressful as parents learn how to care for their newest family member. Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates is partnering with Babies R Us in Dedham  to hold classes for new and expectant parents. Join us on December 17 for a free, hour-long "Baby Basics" class led by Dr. Demetra Panomitros, a pediatrician at Harvard Vanguard's Chestnut Hill-West Roxbury location, to learn about routine care for new parents such as bathing, swaddling, changing diapers and more. The class is open to all, though participants are encouraged to sign up in the store in advance.
