Welcome your baby
Learn the everyday skills before you need them
Bringing baby home can feel joyful and overwhelming at once. Led by Ms Yasa Yong, this practical class gives parents and family caregivers clear guidance, supervised return demonstrations and hands-on practice for baby’s first two months.
Places are limited so every family has space to learn calmly, ask freely and leave with greater confidence.
This is a practical, interactive workshop for parents and caregivers. It helps you feel confident with feeding, sleep, bathing, soothing and the dozen small daily skills that make the first month easier. Each session is capped at a few couples so every question gets answered.
Our Care of Newborn Course is for parents who want to feel confident in those early weeks with a newborn. The session is interactive and hands-on. It suits first-time parents and caregivers alike, and we aim for everyone in the room to leave with the practical answers they came in for.
Join us in this interactive workshop. It teaches expectant parents, new parents and caregivers the essential skills to care for their newborn from day one. The course covers what we wish every parent knew on the way home from the hospital. Our newborn care classes are small, and the questions you have been afraid to ask are exactly the ones we want to hear.
