Our Private Antenatal course reflects the same structure as the group-class version, however it gives parents-to-be the opportunity to tailor it towards their specific needs and enables a more flexible package to be developed based upon your time availability. Having a private class also gives you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you may have.

Ideal for first-time parents, or as a refresh for those expecting their second or third child.

It can also be combined with elements of Baby Basics.

These are private classes focused on helping new parents learn basic baby care techniques for the first several months after birth, and for those with older babies, how to care for a toddler. We arrange them at times that are mutually convenient in your home. The classes may cover whatever you like.
Most commonly covered topics for the newborn period are bathing, swaddling, sleep, settling the baby, feeding, sterilising and SIDS. For those with toddlers, setting a routine, sleep and feeding, tantrums and normal behaviour and development can be covered in the session.
This is practical training which will provide demonstration and hands on practice of baby care. It will be especially beneficial for first time parents. This service is also suitable for adopters. The minimum time for these classes is 2 hours. Baby Basics can also be combined, as needed with Private Antenatal Classes.
