1st & 2nd baby preparation classes in London

2nd Baby Preparation

Our 2nd baby preparation classes are grouped by age gap. This enables you to meet others going through the same as you, to form a social group afterwards and cover subjects and ask questions relevant to your older child e.g should you potty train them or change their routine in advance?

This class gives you an opportunity to think about how you're going to cope with 2 so that you know ways of managing bedtime and bath time, and how to breast-feed whilst entertaining a toddler.
We cover a rapid but thorough reminder and refresher of newborn care including how to encourage good sleeping habits and breast feeding, so that you feel confident and refreshed on areas where you may have forgotten all the detail.

Spend 2.5 - 3hours thinking about your new baby and how life will change with 2 (for more detail, see the classes page). The dates of upcoming classes are below.

I aim to match up mums as best as possible so that you have very similar age gaps and due dates, facilitating you to get together after the class to share to wonderful journey of life with 2 little ones.
