Having a baby is exciting, but it can also be stressful as parents learn how to care for their newest family member. Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates is partnering with Babies R Us in Braintree to hold classes for new and expectant parents. Join us on December 17 for a free, hour-long "Choke Saving and Safety" class led by Harvard Vanguard's health education staff to learn about common choking hazards and how to prevent them, basics of the Heimlich maneuver, and other at-home safety tips. The class is open to all, though participants are encouraged to sign up in the store in advance.
