We always follow the advice and guidance as set by The Lullaby Trust on Safer Sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. I cover this important topic in Session 5 of my Birth Preparation Course.

For more info on my courses, dates and prices, please visit www.ourbabyclub.com/reading. Book now if you’re due a baby in 2025, hurry spaces are filling up!

Babies should sleep on their back every sleep, day and night.

This simple advice is one of the most protective actions you can take to ensure your baby is sleeping as safely as possible. It’s one of the key reasons for the huge drop in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) rates over the last 30 years.

These are some of the most common reasons I hear from couples who aren’t sure about booking an Antenatal or Hypnobirthing course.

My Birth Preparation Course & Hypnobirthing courses are designed with you in mind, preparing you for Birth & beyond. The tools I teach on my courses go further than just the Birth experience & can have huge benefits to the postpartum period.

Just some of the benefits of doing a course with me:

✨ Equips you with knowledge about Birth
✨ Gives you confidence to have the birth you want
✨ Allows you to let go of any preconceptions about Birth
✨ Evidence based information
✨ Prepares your Birth Partner with tools to support you
✨ Warm, welcoming safe space

I run both Group courses & private courses tailored to suit you. If you’d like more info, click the link in my bio to visit my webpage with all the course information, dates and prices.

If you’re expecting a baby in 2025, here’s your reminder to book onto one of my courses now!

Here's some interesting research that can encourage a bond between new dads and their babies

Is this something you'll share with your partners?

Some interesting research about changes to the amygdala in dads who used a soft sling with their baby (rather than the group who used seats)
The amygdala is part of the primitive brain that is involved in emotions and responses.
It was particularly significant in men who had experienced childhood trauma.

Slings are amazing. If your partner is concerned about bonding with the baby, get them involved in babywearing. Also, babies often settle for longer in a sling, so can give you a bit of time/space for jogging/bath/greys anatomy/baking/gym

*The research was just done on dads as opposed to any other non birthing parent or partner

📋 Birth Partners To Do List

💡 I often hear that the reason people don’t book an Antenatal Course is because the partners don’t know how valuable the knowledge can be! So…. these are my top tips for Birth Partners!

✅ Book onto one of my courses & I’ll make sure you leave feeling equipped, prepared and excited for the next chapter!
