Newborn Classes

Raleigh

After your baby is born, your life changes overnight. You’re more in love than ever before, are majorly sleep deprived, on a rollercoaster of emotions and have an endless amount of questions. There’s so much you’re all the sudden supposed to know. You took all the baby prep classes, but it feels like no one truly prepared you for this. Motherhood is a whole new ballgame.

But you don’t have to go through it alone. Mom League’s curated curriculum covers all the newborn topics you need to know about - all in one place.

More than that, you’ll find a built in community of other moms going through the same changes that you are. You’ll find an opportunity to learn, laugh, share and unite with other moms. So whether you’re a first-time mom, or you’ve done this before, we welcome you to join us. Every baby and postpartum experience is unique and every mom deserves a squad and a team of curated experts to carry her through.

“Being a new mother is all so wonderful and scary at the same time, and having a support group and place to share experiences is so special.”

“Being a first-time mama I was terrified to start my journey into motherhood, and Mom League helped to ease my anxiety. I was very nervous the first class to meet other moms and share my experience however, that quickly subsided with each class.”
