About
The New Parent Course
Become the best parents you can be.
Across 4 in person sessions you will learn everything you need to help yourself and your little one establish feeding, playing and sleeping routines and how to look after yourself as new parents.
We do this in a safe environment having open and honest conversations with no judgment.
1. YOU
We start with You - the birthing parent AND your Partner.
This is a conversation about relationships, emotions, piles, postnatal depression, hormones, body recovery, exercise, your nutrition and pelvic floor health.
How is your pelvic floor health after giving birth?
We work with a pelvic floor specialist to get your nether regions back in tip top condition so you don’t have to pee a little when you cough.
You will walk away with tools to manage your mental health and exercises to improve your pelvic floor health. No one wants to wee when they cough.
2. SLEEP
How can you encourage good sleep routines?
The one thing every parent wants more of - but how do you get it? At a time when we need to be able to concentrate more than we ever have before, simple tasks can become a struggle - Not ideal when you have a new human to look after.
Learn how to encourage good sleep routines, types of sleeping, what sleep cycles are, how to link those cycles, what might be causing bad sleep and how to temporarily adapt your sleep routines as a family to work around your little one.
Setting good sleep routines from birth will create a positive relationship with sleep. As baby grows, their sleep needs will change and by establishing that good relationship, sleep regressions will be much easier to deal with (even non-existent).
You will walk away with tools to help your little one develop a positive relationship with sleep.
3. FEED
We are ‘pro feeding’.
Breast, bottle, mixed. However you want to feed your baby - We will support you. We will walk you through the different options, methods, how to get that good latch, nipple shields and how to deal with your partner if they are a bit pushy.
If baby is hungry, they need to be fed. Bottle is ok - if you are struggling with breast, don’t sweat it.
4. PLAY
What is play for a baby and what should I be doing to aid their development?
Sleep, play, eat repeat. Understand the milestones and developmental changes your baby makes through their first 6 months and what play activities are best for each stage.
You will get a hands-on shortened baby massage session and play activities to develop all 8 (yes 8) senses effectively.
At this early stage some of the simplest activities are the most important. That black and white book the hospital gives you is actually really valuable in those early days.
You will walk away with knowledge about all 8 senses, how to develop them in your little one and fun activities that your baby will consider as play.
