Description:

The Laugh and Learn series DVD’s can be purchased as a 3-DVD set or individually. Below is a description of each individual DVD.

Laugh and Learn About Childbirth:

Laugh and Learn About Childbirth, America’s # 1 Childbirth Class, is the first video in a series of educational classes for pregnant couples, and the only comprehensive childbirth course on the market. This new 2 DVD-Set is completely updated. All aspects of labor and delivery are covered, including pain relieving options, the entire Lamaze training with one breathing technique and natural childbirth, and for the first time everything you need to know about Cord Blood Banking.

Like the other two video classes in this series, Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding and Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care, Laugh and Learn About Childbirth is also a fun and entertaining way to learn everything you need to know to have a pleasant pregnancy, labor and delivery. The classes are taught by award winning childbirth expert Sheri Bayles, RN, in six easy lessons, perfect for watching at your own pace in the comfort and convenience of your own home. In addition to the regular Childbirth Class, the producers added a Reunion with Sheri, the couples from this class and their new babies. Including in this DVD set is also a Special Feature containing vital information about Cord Blood Banking.

Laugh and Learn About Baby Care:

A lot of new parents feel overwhelmed once they get home from the hospital. Most of them realize that they don’t have any idea how to take care of their newborn. This is where Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care will help you. Taught by Sheri Bayles, RN and childbirth educator, this new DVD is the only complete baby care course on the market, covering all aspects of how-to take care of your baby, from newborn to toddler and covering in detail all the baby supplies you need. Sheri Bayles shares her experiences, gives tips and strategies to avoid obstacles and explains techniques like swaddling. Best of all, in her class you get to watch and learn with real live demonstrations.

Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding:

Although Breastfeeding is a natural process, it is mostly a learned art. Obstacles are the norm, but it is the best start that a mother can give her new baby. Breastfeeding benefits both mothers and babies, it protects babies from disease, and women who have nursed have substantially lower rates of breast cancer. Like the other two video classes in this series, Laugh and Learn About Childbirth and Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care, Laugh and Learn About Breastfeeding is a comprehensive, fun and entertaining way to learn everything you need to know to have a pleasant Breastfeeding experience. On her new DVD, Sheri Bayles, RN shares her experiences, gives tips and strategies to avoid Breastfeeding obstacles, explains latch on, holds and positions, especially for breastfeeding twins, pumping, diet, and setting up a schedule that let’s you get a good night of sleep. Best of all, in her class you get to watch and learn with real live demonstrations of all the techniques.

So what does the Penny Pinching Parent family think?

I know when I first found out I was expecting I couldn’t wait until we reached the point we could sign-up for childbirth, baby care and breastfeeding classes. As a new mom I was so excited and a little bit scared and I wanted to soak in as much information as possible.

I absolutely loved our childbirth instructor. She had been a labor and delivery nurse for about 20 years had 3 or 4 kids that she home schooled and she had the absolute best personality. I took lots of notes and tried my darnedest to pay attention, but I found myself at home trying to remember stuff or with new questions. I don’t know how many times I thought… “wish I could just take her home with me” when we left the class.

The really great thing about the Laugh and Learn set, you can take your instructor home with you! These childbirth, baby care and breastfeeding classes are taught by Sheri Bayles, who is an award winning Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She has taught over 4,000 couples at New York Presbyterian Hospital as an Ob/Gyn nurse. She’s also a mom, of twin boys… so needless to say, she knows her stuff.

Oh how watching this set took me back (and yes, I watched them all for this review). My daughter’s only 2 1/2, but boy time flies. To be honest, I learned some things that I either forgot during the whole process of having our first little one or I didn’t pick them up anywhere before.

Sheri is professional and just bursting with a ton of valuable information for moms and dads in this series, but she’s also light hearted, experienced and real. The lessons on these DVDs fly by when you are watching them. I love the idea of having this set to answer questions and to be able to watch a lesson whenever you want. For those of you who will be first time parents reading this… this series isn’t too overwhelming either, the material is broken down and presented in an easily digestible and enjoyable way.

I think this set is wonderful and would be a great compliment to your local prenatal education classes. I have know some first time moms that had to move, etc. during their pregnancy and didn’t get to complete all of their childbirth classes, so this would be ideal for those parents who won’t have access to or won’t be able to complete classes in person. This set would also make an absolutely perfect gift for first time parents… even if you can only give them one DVD at a time. And since they are available at Babies R Us, etc. I think they would be a great item to add to your registry.

Was there anything we didn’t like about the set?

We LOVED everything! I just can’t say enough great things about the Laugh and Learn set and am so glad to have been able to share them with Penny Pinching Parent readers!
