This is an amazing standalone or pre-cursor workshop to a full antenatal course. It can be undertaken at any time but from second trimester is ideal.

The F.U.S.S free early parenting workshop has been written with the main aim of helping you with your early parenting journey. It specifically does not advise you, it simply provides lots of wonderful information to enable you to take on board what you need and have the confidence to listen to your instincts.

The course is delivered, through a mix of discussion and watching experts in their fields giving information with the aim of making those early days with baby a little easier. Personally I really wish this had been available 9 1/2 years ago when my son was born.
