Co-hosted by Holly Kimbell of OC Postpartum Doula Services & Bo Gapas of Little Heartbeats CPR, this helpful and informative session blends expert guidance with real-life insights to help you confidently care for your newborn.

The Newborn Safety Essentials Program
You can watch a YouTube video. But in a real emergency, “I think I remember” is not the same as I know what to do.
The Newborn Safety Essentials Program was built for expecting families who want more than information. It gives you the chance to practice with your own infant manikin, ask questions in real time, and get live feedback from an AHA Instructor so you leave with real confidence—not crossed fingers.
This is not just CPR content. This is hands-on preparation for one of the moments that matters most.
