Sibling Classes

Do you already have children? Are you worried about their adjustment to their new sibling? Are you planning on having any of your children attend the birth of their new brother or sister?

Who Attends Sibling Classes?

These classes are designed for children who are at least 2, who will be present at the birth of a sibling. They're also welcome to bring a friend (mom, dad or older sibling).

What Happens at Sibling Classes?

We watch a video of a birth, read stories about birth from a child's perspective, write a "birth plan" to help out during the birth, "practice birthing" (moaning, yelling, moving around, different positions), birth art, talking about newborn babies, and simple baby care.

When Should We Attend?

You should attend sibling classes during the last trimester of mom's pregnancy. The information they learn and the things they see will be fresh in their minds and easier to remember.

How Much Do They Cost?

Free if delivering at Cushing Regional Hospital Women's Health Center. If delivering somewhere else the cost is $25 per child. If you have additional children from the same family attending, they are only an additional $5 each.
