This is the most convenient course as it only involves attendance for one day, starting at 9am and finishing at 4.30pm is the most time efficient course available anywhere that covers Pregnancy, labour and Birth in the morning and then Baby care and Parenting during the Newborn period, the first twelve weeks covered very thoroughly in the afternoon.

This course is also terrific for couples who are wanting to refresh their knowledge, having already had a baby, and now needing to prepare for their second, third, fourth or subsequent baby.
