Preparing for baby course

Be completely prepared to care for your baby

OK so we lied. You are never going to be completely prepared to be a parent, even when you have four and are a child development specialist. But this course will make you more prepared than we ever were. It is different to anything else you have ever seen because we offer information about all the key elements and offer frameworks to help you choose how you do this and what you use. We just provide the information about what it is like to be a parent, and what it is like to be a baby.
​
We’ll help you to understand:
  • The fourth trimester
  • Infant communication and cues
  • Physical, neurological and psychological infant development
  • Why babies cry and how to calm them
  • Why babies sleep the way they do and how you can help them to sleep a little more
  • ​What you can do to prepare to feed your baby the way you want 
  • What you need (and don't) for your baby
  • ​How to manage every day care tasks for your baby whilst keeping them calm and building their brain
  • How to get started with massaging and moving your baby before you get to a class
  • All about carrying and handling babies to optimise development and maintain calm, including using slings and carriers

​On this course you will get:
  • ​At least 8 hours of education with a consultant
  • Handouts online or on paper
  • Evidence based information
  • Zero judgement on parenting choices
  • A completely holistic look at parenting in the early days
  • An approach that will mean a calmer and happier parenting experience

​This course is often run over 4 weeks in two hour sessions, though it may be run in a day or other formats.

Our consultants set their own prices so you will need to contact them to find out. Privately arranged groups and one-to-one consultation requests are highly welcome.
