Once your baby arrives you’re likely to have lots more questions! Our Baby and You course is the ideal time to ask questions and deal with issues as they arrive whilst helping you to understand and cope with your role as a new parent. The course is specially tailored for parents with children 0-6 months old.

Topics Covered:

• caring for a newborn including feeding, sleeping and settling and baby massage
• first aid and CPR for babies and toddlers
• life changes and looking after yourself including post-pregnancy/childbirth health & well-being for mum
• development and play including stimulation for baby, age appropriate toys and key milestones of baby’s growth and development

This is a very popular course and is presented by qualified professionals who run each session as a relaxed discussion group. Because all babies are unique with varying needs and personalities, this format gives you the opportunity to discuss your particular situation and challenges and receive tips, advice and potential strategies. We encourage parents to create support networks that continue after the course (coffee and play groups!).

Baby & You is a five week course and classes are kept small. Both parents are welcome along with the baby.

Bookings
