Infant Care

Infant Care is a critical skill encompassing the comprehensive care and nurturing of babies from birth to approximately one year of age. Coursera's Infant Care catalogue teaches you essential knowledge about infant development, including physical, cognitive, and emotional milestones, as well as best practices for meeting babies' basic needs. You'll learn to provide proper nutrition through breastfeeding or formula feeding, ensure safe sleep environments, perform routine hygiene tasks, recognize and respond to various cries and cues, and support healthy emotional attachment. Mastering Infant Care skills empowers caregivers, parents, and healthcare professionals to promote optimal growth and development, laying the foundation for a child's lifelong health and well-being.
