Consider the PostBirth period with your baby. We see beautiful cuddles, with a settled newborn who is totally adorable sleeping. We imagine a mum who is seen to have it all together, hair up, out of her pyjamas, house tidy. However, for the majority of us, this isn’t the case. For many mothers they may have little support, with growing trends towards FIFO families and many families living away from grandparents and supports. Many have not done too much research into what having a newborn is like, focusing on important and immediate pregnancy and birth concerns first. So many women have not dealt with babies or newborns at all in their life prior to having their own.

All leading to a myriad of issues, unrealistic expectations, lack of education, (well meaning) but often completely outdated advice which can lead to depression, anxiety and major relationship strain.

So what can be achieved by having some more information? What are the benefits of PostBirth Education Classes?

• Better relationship with baby
• Better relationship with others especially partner
• More able to accept and rely on your own intuition and gut
