The course is facilitated over four consecutive weeks from the date selected and it provides information and support relevant to your baby's development and your postnatal recovery.

    In Detail

    Week 1: Further postnatal recovery and Infant Feeding 

    In week one we will explore further recovery (beyond the initial weeks discussed in our pregnancy courses) from pregnancy and birth including: what to expect at your eight-week postnatal check, scar massage and tummy muscle separation. We will also look at further feeding issues such as Mastitis, Thrush and DMER, and discuss reliable sources of information and support.

    Week 2: Digestion

    In week two we will explore the digestive issues that impact some babies such as colic, reflux, constipation and allergy. We will discuss their symptoms, what parents can do to support their baby and where to seek further support if a condition is suspected

    Week 3: Baby Sleep

    Did you know that most sleep advice on the internet and from well meaning friends is not based on research evidence and doesn't take account of natural variations between individual babies?! This postnatal exploration of sleep uses the latest research evidence to present practical suggestions to support improved sleep patterns for the family unit. 

    Week 4: Play & brain development

    In the final week of the course we take a look at baby body language and use that knowledge to inform our quality time with them. We look at the importance of play and discuss some simple play suggestions to support their brain growth and development , including tummy time.

    Weekly relaxation

    In addition to allocating time and space to ask your questions*, each session will finish with a short bespoke guided relaxation written by our in house cognitive hypnotherapist, Midwife Natalie

    *Hypnosis and visualisation techniques are taught and used during this course. If you or your Partner have a mental health diagnosis or a neurological condition, such as Epilepsy, this class may not be suitable.
