The Baby Journey

The Baby Journey hosts antenatal classes, and lots more, in Fairview in Cheltenham. We believe that this leads to contented and confident parents.

Our philosophy here at The Baby Journey is that good information, understanding and support are vital through your pregnancy. Every parent and baby is different and every journey will be unique. The Baby Journey offers an honest, realistic and friendly approach founded on our experiences as midwives - but equally important our experiences as mums.

Do you want to attend a midwife led antenatal course but struggle to make weekday evenings? Join us on our next weekend course, 10am-2pm on 16th & 17th August.

We cover the topics that parents told us they wanted to know about (as well as what midwives & obstetricians think will help you):

⭐️ issues in pregnancy (including what’s normal and what’s not, how to feel better, who to call when)
⭐️ how to help yourself and each other in labour, pain relief options, what to expect
⭐️early days with your remarkable little bundle (feeding, sleeping, adapting, getting out and about, top tips)
⭐️ we aim to tailor our antenatal classes to suit your group’s unique needs

You’ll also be put in a WhatsApp group and meet other people having a baby at a similar time to you.

Head to our website to book, we can’t wait to meet you 😃

Busy day for our Refresher Rosie! Double consultant clinic to session 2 of the Refresher Course at The Baby Journey! And she was ready early enough for a cuppa! ☕️🦸‍♀️

Our Refresher Course consists of two sessions to give you a reminder of all things labour and birth and caring for a newborn, whilst introducing you to a lovely group of people who are also adding to their family 😃

In no particular order, here are your top ten baby slings and carriers! Lots of parents use a sling for babies when they are newborn, and move up to a carrier when they are bigger. If you’re currently looking for what might suit you, these brands are a good place to start, with a whole range of prices and styles to choose from.

Remember to look into Cheltenham and Gloucester sling libraries too! And always follow TICKS guidance to keep baby safe on your travels…

✔️Tight
✔️In view at all times
✔️Close enough to kiss
✔️Keep chin off the chest
✔️Supported back

More safety information can be found on The Lullaby Trust website.

Enjoy! 😃

Our latest poll shows that the majority of us use disposable nappies for our little ones. If the use of reusable nappies is something that interests you, hopefully these tips will help you get started…

💫Gloucestershire Council provide a £30 voucher and great deals on your starter kit.
💫 Lots of the reusable nappies on the market are made from recycled material and come in one size, with adjustable poppers allowing the nappy to grow with your baby.
💫 The nappies come in beautiful designs and you can get trial boxes to try different brands. You can also buy second hand to reduce costs!
💫 You should always wash the nappies prior to first use, with them fastened up to prevent snagging.
💫 When washing, you can use up to 60 degrees if needed but 40 degrees is fine in most cases. Do not use fabric conditioner and always use non-bio detergent. There are lots of videos on YouTube to help with washing.
💫 You can use disposable or reusable liners and boosters to make the nappy more absorbent.
💫 It is more environmentally friendly!
