NEXT FIRST-TIME PARENT COURSE STARTS......JANUARY 30

NEXT ACTIVE BIRTH SKILLS WORKSHOP.......MARCH 4

NEXT BREASTFEEDING BASICS WORKSHOP....... FEBRUARY 16

 

Are you looking for ways to make your birth easier? And what about the early days with your new baby?

Birthwaves antenatal classes will help you prepare for this. They are held in the Bayside area of Melbourne, Victoria.

Hospital classes are usually not enough for many people to prepare themselves for birth and life beyond. Birthwaves offers childbirth and early parenting education both for first time parents and those expecting a subsequent baby. The emphasis is on the steps you and your partner can take to help yourselves.

Private consultations are also available for birth and parenthood preparation or postnatal debriefings and counselling.

The group sessions provide

  • An understanding of active birth techniques and the 'twenty ways to an easier birth'!
  • Relaxed settings in which issues can be explored by women and their partners 
  • Evidence-based information
  • Small group sizes providing support and friendship
  • An opportunity to meet other parents-to-be

 

New Active Birth Skills and Breastfeeding Workshops Scheduled

See "Courses and Services" and "Course Dates" pages for more information on these workshops.

Tip of the month

Route to successful breastfeeding......... Your baby has been born and she is healthy and well. Now the No. 1 issue is his or her feeding. Breastfeeding is proven to be the best for mother and baby, but it can be tricky to get going. Step 1 is to have studied the different aspects and how to approach it before birth. Step 2 is for the baby to be delivered straight to the mother’s chest, skin-to-skin. Step 3 is to allow the baby to self-attach and start feeding as soon as possible. Step 4 is to seek all the advice and support you need. Contact the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) for their education, information and support services. http://breastfeeding.asn.au/
