What are the course options?
The Baby Care For Planned C-Section 1 day Course
Has been developed as a 1-day stand alone course to meet the needs of those having a c.section, not requiring any of the birth info details, instead needing to have full focus on caring for baby in the first hours, understanding what happens, all the changes, how to respond to babies; everything from breastfeeding, nappies, bathing, what items to have at the hospital, coming home, what to expect, what to do, where to get help, questions answered, the right advice and guidance and many potential problems deleted.
This convenient course covers “everything possible to cover” in just one day.
Professionally presented notes are supplied for each couple who attend, they’ve been completely updated and expanded during the covid winter as an awesome use of the isolation time.
The completed newly edited version is the incredibly helpful workbook you will receive at this course.
Beautifully created, filled with pics, tables, images, easy-to-read info, bound, easy to flip open and refer to in the future.
It is the most time efficient course available anywhere, covering baby care and parenting during the newborn period (the first twelve weeks).
Brilliantly designed for shift workers, pregnant couples coming from a distance (e.g. Newcastle, Wollongong, Nepean regions), or for those who are very busy.
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, or subsequent baby. Especially if there was a premature experience previously or if you’ve got a big time span between babies and have forgotten most and need to brush up on it all to feel you and your partner are ready for the new arrival.
The Half-Day Course
We receive ongoing requests from busy pregnant couples who are needing a super condensed half-day version.
The half day (afternoon session 1pm to 4.30pm) will remind you of cramming for exams, and you’ll be astounded how much information you will have gained.
Both 1-day and half-day options cover the same content, however the 1-day course does allow for more in-depth learning, which is why it is our recommended option.
This course is part of the Transition into Parenthood course, so you will join the second day or the second half of a day of other parents who have just learnt pregnancy and birthing skills.
