Class or Workshop Description

The Parent (Birth Preparation & Newborn Care) Course is a 15-hour course for expectant parents, delivered over 6 consecutive weekday evenings. The course will help you and your partner confidently prepare for birth and life with baby. Over the duration of the course, you will learn all you need to know about birth, infant feeding and how to care for your baby in the early weeks and months of parenthood. Drawing on elements of active birth, hypnobirthing, parentcraft and traditional antenatal classes, this course is packed full of tools, techniques, evidence-based information and practical demonstrations. From birth plans to massage in labour, informed choices to packing hospital bags, feeding your baby to changing their nappy.
