Courses > One Day Super Condensed Workshop
An excellent super condensed program, ideally designed for busy couples having their first baby, or who have had a previous birth and want to refresh their knowledge and skills, and shift workers unable to attend the weekly program. This popular course is very thorough yet time efficient: covering labour and birth options in the morning, with lots of important practicalities such as positions and self-help for the labouring woman also good useful strategies for support partner to use during labour, including things to say and things not to say. The super condensed course is the same as both the two Saturday condensed course but wrapped into just one Sunday. More topics covered in the morning are: what to pack for labour, when to go to hospital, how to identify the difference between pre-labour and real labour. Many important points to boost your confidence and reduce fear. A delicious morning tea and afternoon tea is included during the break times. Lunch is also supplied at no extra charge and couples usually sit, relax and chat in the lovely, peaceful garden enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Let Julie know upon booking if you have any special dietary needs. We provide plenty of variety, of food and drink; bottomless beverages; tea, herbal tea, coffee, and fruit juices. During the afternoon our focus is on looking after a little newborn baby during the first 12 weeks in a very positive way. Being able to read the baby's body language and their variety of cry "signals" helps parents-to-be feel they can trust their intuition and look forward to getting to know their baby. The newborn period in the first 12 weeks at home with a new baby, how to wrap, feed, deal with crying, sleep and settling, involving both mothers and fathers equally. The afternoon session on baby care really helps couples feel much more organised and prepared for becoming parents. Very good notes for you to take home and keep for future reference.

Refreshers (experienced parents with children already), find this course ideal for their needs and they only need to find a babysitter for one day which is very convenient, older children who are keen to be involved and perhaps even keen to attend the birth of their baby brother or sister are also welcome to attend at no extra charge, depending on bookings and group size...just check with Julie.
