Antenatal workshop 4:
Hello, Baby!
Caring for Your Newborn with Confidence
Saturday 6th of August 10am-12pm
Saturday 1st of November 10am-12pm
A calming, confidence-building 2-hour workshop
Join as a one-off or as part of the full 5-session antenatal course
The early days with a new baby can feel like a whirlwind of emotions — joy, exhaustion, uncertainty, and everything in between. This session is here to offer calm, compassionate guidance as you prepare to care for your newborn with confidence and connection.
In a relaxed, judgement-free space, we’ll walk you through the essential skills for those first few days and weeks — giving you the tools and reassurance you need to meet your baby’s needs and trust your instincts.
In this session, we’ll gently explore:
Nappy changing basics and how to spot signs of healthy feeding and development
Umbilical cord care and what to expect as your baby heals
Bathing your newborn safely and calmly
Safe sleep practices, including current guidance on reducing risks
Baby wearing - practice with Scottish Baby Box sling and talk about safety considerations
Winding and soothing techniques — what to try when your baby won’t settle
How to build connection and confidence in the early days of parenting
Whether you're a first-time parent or simply looking to refresh your knowledge, this session is full of practical tips, live demonstrations, and space for your questions. You'll leave with printed handouts and checklists to support you once your baby is here.
But just as important as the information is the feeling you’ll take away: you can do this. We believe that confidence doesn’t come from doing things perfectly — it comes from feeling supported, informed, and emotionally held as you learn.
We’re here for every kind of parent and every kind of start. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out at once.
