Some of the hardest questions
come in the earliest weeks.
Maybe you have lots of baby experience and NCS training, but you have not worked much with babies that are only a few days old. Or it has been a few years since you cared for a brand new baby.
Food allergies add another layer. Some show up in unusual ways that are frequently missed or diagnosed as something else. If you do not know how they can present, it is harder to support the child and the family.
This bundle pairs two focused courses. The First Six Weeks covers day one in depth, then milestones, reflexes, development, behavior and appearance. Food Allergies in Depth starts with the basics, then goes in depth into unusual allergy presentations.
What changes for you
After the course,
you can:
Understand food allergy basics
Build a clear base of knowledge about food allergies before you go deeper.
Recognize unusual presentations
Learn where FPIES, EOE and related conditions affect the body, what symptoms are likely, and how they are treated.
Better support the child
Use a deeper understanding of these allergies to better support the child you care for and their family.

Is this course right for you?
This course is for you if
- You have baby experience and NCS training, but little time with babies only a few days old
- It has been a few years since you cared for a brand new baby, and you want a refresher
- You care for a child with food allergies, or want to understand how they can show up
- You want both courses for less than buying them one at a time
Choose another route if
- You need a diagnosis or treatment plan for a child: this is education, and NCS work is non-medical
- You are new to newborn care. Start with a core course, Foundational or Elevate.
- You want only one of the two topics. Each course is also sold on its own.
