CONTENT
Welcoming another baby is a beautiful new chapter! Our Second Baby and Beyond class is designed to support growing families as they get ready for the arrival of their newest member.
This session covers:
-
Infant Feeding – Returning to breastfeeding or bottle feeding as well as feeding multiple children
-
Sleep & Rest – Safe sleep for babies, managing sleep for older children, what to expect for infant and older children sleeping patterns and prioritising your own rest
-
Family Relationships – Introducing your new baby to your older child/ren, supporting siblings, nurturing your relationship with your partner, and building family bonds
-
Labour, Birth and Postpartum – What to expect this time, reflections from your previous birth(s) and a brief discussion about methods to cope with labour. Postpartum and recovery as well as matresence and changes to the mothers brain. This workshop does not go into heavy detail regarding pain relief and the physiology of labour. We recommend attending 'Labour Strategies' in-person or our four week online 'Preparing for Birth and Baby' for greater knowledge regarding labour and birth.
We can’t wait to support you—again!
