Our Baby & You classes are aimed at parents with newborn babies (4-12 weeks) and are friendly and informal. Each session allows plenty of time for you to have any questions answered by the experienced course leaders, who are there to provide support to you and your new baby.
The course is held over 6 weeks, on a Monday morning and during the course duration there is a different guest speaker covering each of the following topics:
• Feeding - A Plunket Nurse midwife will discuss feeding, breast care, expressing, feeding frenzies, allergies and mother’s diet.
• First Aid - Our instructor will demonstrate CPR and inform you on what to do with a choking baby, home safety and some first aid situations.
