Workshops

Group class · with other families

Newborn Care Workshop

  • Online
  • On-site
  • About 3 hours

A foundation group class for your first week at home, learned together with other families in the same session. It covers holding, bathing and cord care, through to reading your baby's signals for hunger, tiredness or discomfort. The focus is on doing it with a doll, so that new parents can actually do it once they get home.

Who it is for: Mothers in the last trimester, and families expecting their first baby.

  • Holding and swaddling
  • Bathing and cord care
  • Reading your baby's signals
  • Safe sleep
Would you rather learn at home, just your family? Private Class for New Parents

Who it is for: Mothers after birth, and fathers who want to be more involved.

  • Looking after yourself after birth

Private · your family only

Private Class for New Parents

  • Online
  • On-site
  • Scheduled to suit your family

You can focus on what worries you most, and ask anything without waiting behind other families.

Who it is for: Parents in the last trimester, and parents who have just had their first baby, who would like to learn privately.

  • Bathing and cord care
  • Reading your baby's signals
  • Safe sleep
