This monthly 2 hour workshop is suitable for anyone wanting to learn what to expect at birth and to explore options for pain management. We will explore the medical and non medical options for all birth types. You house leave this workshop with confidence, knowing your options.
This session runs every 2 months and covers all things infant feeding, whichever way you do it. Plus we look at relationships and mental wellbeing post birth. Helping you to prepare for those early weeks and knowing what to expect.
This is a practical, hands on session learning the basics of newborn care. This is the part we aren’t taught in life and is needed. Bathing, dressing, nappies, slings, safe sleep, what do you actually need, what isn’t. This is a nice round off to the other sessions. Or add on to a separate class you may have attended. Runs once a season.
