Question
What is the definitive guide to newborn care by Hilary Erickson, including insights from Dr. Janene Fuerch?
Answer
Hilary’s “definitive guide” to newborn care is really a combo of two resources that work well together:
-
Newborns Made Easy – a 30‑minute online class that simplifies day‑to‑day newborn care (diapering, taking temperature, swaddling, bulb syringe, baths, daily routines) plus a newborn sleep video and printable “cheat sheet.” It is taught by me, Hilary Erickson, BSN‑RN, The Pregnancy Nurse®, and is designed to make newborns feel simple, not scary.
-
NICU insights with Dr. Janene Fuerch – on episode 263 of The Pulling Curls Podcast, neonatologist Dr. Janene Fuerch and I talk about what every pregnant family should know about the NICU: why understanding it ahead of time is empowering, how to make decisions before delivery, and what real‑life NICU support looks like if your baby needs extra care.
Together, they cover both everyday newborn care at home and what happens if things get more complex in the NICU.
Are you mainly looking for help with routine newborn care, or are you wanting more NICU‑specific information too?
