What Your Newborn Really Needs + How You & Your Partner Can Thrive in the First Few Weeks

A Realistic, Supportive Class for Couples Preparing for Life After Birth

"The early days can feel like a blur — beautiful, emotional, and unexpectedly overwhelming. This class helps you meet them with calm, clarity, and connection." – Emma

Why This Class Matters

Feeding, soothing, bonding — everyone says it’s natural. But many parents feel uncertain when the time comes.
You're not alone if you're wondering:

  • How will I know if baby is getting enough milk?

  • Will feeding hurt? What if it doesn't “click”?

  • How will we cope with sleep deprivation, tears, and pressure?

  • What’s my partner’s role? How can we support each other?

This short evening class is your warm welcome into the fourth trimester — a gentle, evidence-based, and emotionally attuned session for couples. It's about more than feeding: it's about what your baby really needs, and how you can move through those first postnatal weeks with more confidence and less overwhelm.


What You Will Leave With / Outcomes

✅ A clear understanding of feeding options: breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, expressing — without pressure or judgment.
✅ Confidence in recognising newborn cues — so you know what baby is asking for (and when).
✅ Realistic expectations around sleep, nappies, cluster feeding, and “normal” newborn behaviour.
✅ Tips for emotional and physical recovery — because you matter too.
✅ Partner strategies — how to support, soothe, and bond (without feeling like the third wheel).
✅ Babywearing basics — intro to slings, skin-to-skin, and hands-free closeness.
✅ Reassurance and calm — knowing you're already enough, just as you are.


👶 This Class Is For You If…

  • You’re expecting your first baby and want to feel more prepared for the early weeks.

  • You’ve had a baby before but want a refresher — or a different, more holistic approach.

  • You want support that’s non-judgemental, inclusive, and emotionally intelligent.

  • You value both science and intuition — and want guidance grounded in both.


🧡 What Others Say

“This was the most grounded, reassuring session we’ve done. It felt like someone was holding our hand and saying: ‘You’ve got this.’”

“My partner came away finally understanding what I might go through — it brought us closer before baby even arrived.”
