About This Course

Birth & Baby is a four-part antenatal course for first-time families. We'll guide you through everything from staying healthy in pregnancy to caring for your newborn in those precious early days.

What You'll Learn

Four sessions covering everything you need to feel prepared and confident.

Healthy Pregnancy

Nutrition, exercise, vaccinations and sleep during pregnancy - building the best foundation for you and your baby.

Prepare for Labour

What to do in the last four weeks of pregnancy, what to pack, pain relief options, birth preferences, Vitamin K and more.

Early Infant Feeding

Benefits of breastfeeding, positioning & attachment, hand expressing, storing breast milk, learning about what breastfeeding looks like in the real world (how often does baby feed, how long should baby be fed for, how do I know if they are feeding well).

And for those parents wishing to bottle feed, we look at how to make up a feed safely, how to sterilise equipment properly, how to pace feed and bottle feed responsively.

Caring for your Newborn

Bathing, nappy changing, caring for baby's belly button, safe sleep guidelines and responsive parenting in those precious early weeks.
