Why Every New Parent Should Take CPR and First Aid:

Becoming a parent is both thrilling and daunting. Your child’s safety is at the top of your priority list, and knowing how to act in an emergency is essential. At Nurture + Know, we understand the importance of being prepared.But why is this training so important?

1. Accidents Happen When You Least Expect Them
Infants and toddlers are naturally curious, and they often find themselves in situations where accidents can occur—whether it’s choking, falls, or burns. Having CPR and First Aid training means you can respond immediately in a stressful situation, reducing the risk of long-term harm. Parents who are trained in CPR are able to provide life-saving interventions until professional medical help arrives.

2. A New Parent's Confidence in an Emergency
During emergencies, panic is common. However, when you’re trained in CPR and First Aid, you’ll know exactly what to do and how to stay calm. Nurture + Know’s CPR course teaches you the step-by-step process of what to do in an emergency, so when the unexpected happens, you won’t be left second-guessing. Confidence in your ability to handle an emergency can be a life-changing factor in critical moments.

3. Knowing When to Seek Medical Help
Sometimes, injuries or symptoms might not require immediate CPR but still need professional attention. Our CPR and First Aid class helps parents recognize situations when they should seek medical help. Whether it’s a high fever, signs of dehydration, or a head injury, being able to identify when something is an emergency and knowing how to manage the situation until help arrives can be incredibly valuable.

4. Preventing Choking and Other Common Emergencies
Choking is one of the most common reasons new parents seek CPR training. Learning how to perform infant choking relief techniques can prevent a life-threatening situation. By learning to prevent and respond to common emergencies, you’re not just saving lives; you’re creating a safer environment for your child.
