Hindsight is good but foresight is better.
“As an expectant mom, my instinct was to gather all of the physical “things” that I thought would help my baby. Strollers, sleep sacks, swaddles, pacifiers, even a baby nest that looked like a dog bed. I took a childbirth class just because. In hindsight instead of focusing on gadgets I should have focused on learning about my baby—her body, her temperament, her needs, her cues. If I had known more about her I would have known how to help her without feeling I was failing if I didn’t buy the newest gadget.”
-Kathryn Dunn, Founder of Nurtured Nest
An equitable approach.
Nurtured Nest is keenly aware of the pervasive problem of health inequity in the United States.
We want to ensure that BIPOC parents, LGBTQI+ parents, adoptive parents, and single parents all feel seen, valued, and represented in materials from Nurtured Nest. If you spot an exception to this goal in our materials, we ask you to tell us. When we know better, we do better.
We are aware our learners come to our classes from diverse cultural backgrounds. In each new class, we help families navigate cultural differences around parenting, offering encouragement, mindset shifts, and language for moments of tension.
The Old Way
- class at a set date and time
- one instructor [one view point]
- outdated content
- zero technology- paper handouts
- content that is rarely updated
- no way to revisit the class
- overwhelmed by all of the information
- not feeling prepared afterwards
The Nurtured Nest Way
- 24/7 online access + an app
- multi instructors [multi view points]
- up to date content
- digital materials that you can access 24/7
- revisit the class videos + handouts whenever you need it
- content created by both medical + education experts to ensure it’s easy to consume
- a true community of support
Partnering with healthcare providers
Nurtured Nest perinatal education allows hospitals to support families throughout the whole perinatal period without a heavy lift from the hospital staff.
It allows hospitals to focus on patient outcomes, knowing those in their care have up-to-date, evidence-based perinatal education that meets patients’ emotional, clinical, and logistical needs.
