New Baby Classes Liverpool: This workshop is all about your baby. The transition to life outside the uterus is an amazing physiological miracle. The aim of this workshop is for parents to understand this process and support baby to have an easier and healthier transition. The stages covered include how you and baby will feel immediately post birth, the first 24hrs and the first 28 days of life.

Caring for a new baby is a subject that requires a dedicated workshop. The New Baby workshop will offer important information about how to recognise effective feeding, caring for baby’s skin, recognising healthy behaviours or causes for concern, and preventing complications. Bonding is another important topic covered; presumed so natural that there is little information provided to new parents about how to support bonding and emotional safety. Sleep safety and potential hazards are explained to ensure you are fully informed and prepared to keep baby safe. The workshop will also offer practical advice about travelling, registering baby, promoting healthy development, and routine care pathways of care.
