You can still take a class in person at UNC Rex.

Get trusted support for pregnancy and parenting from Nurtured Nest—from free downloads to expert-led classes.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know—Until You Do.
Parenting isn't about hacks or quick fixes—it's about understanding what's really going on, so you can make choices that actually work for your family.
That's why our online courses aren't just convenient—they're built for real life. You can pause, rewatch, or revisit whenever things shift (because they always do).
They're especially helpful for:
- ♥ Night owls and overthinkers
- ♥ Partners with unpredictable schedules
- ♥ Anyone who learns best at their own pace—in their own space
No, we can't make your baby sleep on command (no one can), but we can help you understand the why behind the hard moments—and how to handle them with more clarity, confidence, and even joy.
