What You Actually Need to Care for Baby


In this practical and reassuring class, Dr. Sterling walks you through the essentials of newborn care—focusing on what you truly need (and what’s just nice to have). No overpriced gadgets or overwhelm—just the basics that support a smoother transition into parenthood.

You’ll learn:

  • What to prioritize on your baby registry

  • Must-haves for sleep, soothing, feeding, bathing, and diapering

  • What’s helpful but not necessary (like swings, carriers, and diaper pails)

  • Tips for clothes, gear, and babywearing—plus how to avoid common overspending traps

  • Why it’s smart to register for support, not just stuff

This class includes links to recommended products and helps you feel confident choosing what works for your lifestyle and baby.
