Baby Medical Basics

Newborn babies can’t tell you if or when something is wrong. As a new mum or dad, your brain will be instinctively wired to naturally think the worse. This session, will help you keep calm around the million do’s & don’ts of fumbling through those early maternity days.

Breastfeeding Foundations: 
Breastfeeding is a skill that both you and your baby can learn together. The goal is to help you increase your confidence to follow your own unique maternal instincts.

Preparing for Postpartum: 
You don’t yet have a baby on the outside, but this session is all about YOU and helping to create a positive postpartum experience. We’ll explore how a combination of tools like mindfulness & processing, relaxation & nourishment can help new parents recover from pregnancy & birth.

Mental Health from Pregnancy to Parenthood: 
Here, you will understand that you are far from alone on this rollercoaster ride, and what to do if you feel like you want to get off! During this session we’ll explore the emotional challenges during pregnancy & the early stages of parenthood, alongside how both parents can look after their emotional health. Plus strategies to help manage stress, worry, low mood & more…​
