From our blog to our classes, with the Six Healthy Birth Practices as our foundation, Lamaze strives to prepare parents to make informed decisions. We believe that an informed pregnancy is an empowered pregnancy. That commitment shows up not only in what we teach, but in how we teach it.

That’s why we’re so excited to share the brand-new Plumtree Baby Lamaze teaching materials. These thoughtfully designed resources are game changers for both new and seasoned Educators. Whether you’re launching your first series or looking to refresh your longtime approach, these tools help you bring evidence-based, respectful, and transformative education into every classroom.

A Closer Look at the New Tools

1. Navigating Pregnancy Birth – Your Lamaze Curriculum

This downloadable curriculum is a flexible, complete roadmap. It includes a full 8-hour lesson plan, more than 30 handouts, as well as interactive activities and discussion prompts that directly align with Lamaze Essential Content. The comprehensive structure allows you to tailor your teaching approach while staying grounded in best practice.

Why it makes a difference:
* If you're just starting out, this gives you confidence and structure right out of the gate.
* If you've been teaching for years, it cuts your prep time dramatically and ensures your material reflects current Lamaze standards.

2. Navigating Pregnancy & Birth PowerPoint

With 157 clean, visually engaging slides, this presentation covers all the essentials—pregnancy, labor, interventions, postpartum, newborn care, and breastfeeding. The content is designed for in person or virtual classes and can be rearranged to meet your specific teaching goals.

Why it helps you teach better:
* Thoughtful graphics and concise content help parents stay engaged and retain more.
* Prompts built into the slides encourage real conversation, not just lecture.

3. Navigating Pregnancy & Birth Parent Guidebook

This full-color, inclusive, and easy-to-follow guide is the perfect take-home companion for parents. It mirrors the class content and reinforces the Six Healthy Birth Practices in a way that feels approachable and practical.

Why parents love it:
* It’s readable, relevant, and respectful of diverse families and experiences.
* It keeps the learning going long after your class ends.

4. Lamaze Starter Package

Why It Matters

Lamaze has always stood for more than just childbirth classes. Our three pillars: evidence-based, respectful, and transformative, define everything we do. These new materials reflect that heart and purpose. They allow educators to focus less on logistics and more on connection. Less time formatting means more time empowering parents.
