A. In general we recommend taking the Evening Series if your schedule allows. Both the Evening Series and Weekend Workshop provide high quality classes with excellent instructors that cover the essentials of childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum and newborns. However, there are advantages to choosing the Evening Series:
- It is easier to retain the information spread out over seven weeks than condensed into one weekend
- The extra two hours of instruction allows more practice of techniques, more in-depth discussion and participant-directed focus, and slightly more content.
- Lasting friendships are more likely to be formed in the Evening Series, since participants get to know each other over a period of time.
- During the course of a series there is the opportunity to borrow resources such as books, DVDs and articles
- As the instructor gets to know you over the course of a series she is better able to address your specific needs, wants, and concerns
