MY BIRTH & BABY CLASSES
My Birth & Baby (formerly Daisy Parent) is a comprehensive 12+ hour course run over 5 weeks.
​
The first 3 classes focus fully on labour and birth, incorporating:
​
-
all stages of labour & what to expect
-
breathing techniques,
-
pain relief options,
-
active birth, water birth,
-
instrumental delivery (ventouse and forceps)
-
Caesarean delivery including elective & emergency c-section
-
the importance of the birth environment,
-
practical things birth partners can do and the vital role they will play,
-
massage techniques,
-
third stage management
​
Your 4th class focuses on infant feeding. We’ll discuss different feeding choices in detail (breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding breast milk and formula), anatomy and physiology, hunger cues, latch and attachment (for breastfeeding), equipment needed, common challenges encountered, current guidance around weaning, and more.
​
Your final class is all about baby care, and everything you need to know once your baby is out and in your arms. This includes (but is not limited to) newborn appearance, the importance of the golden hour and the benefits of skin to skin, postnatal checks to expect for mum and baby, how to wash, change and dress your little one, sleeping, fourth trimester, winding, holding, crying and calming.
​
These classes are suitable for all birth plans and parenting choices, whether this is your first baby or not. My aim is to ensure you both leave feeling more prepared, ready, able to advocate for the things you want for your family, make fully informed choices and excited for all that’s to come.
​
Classes are most suitable from 25 weeks onwards
