Midlothian Sure Start are delighted to bring you the Baby Steps programme.
Expecting a baby is such an exciting time—but it’s also normal to feel a little unsure. That’s where Baby Steps comes in. We’re here with you every step of the way.
Baby Steps is a free and friendly programme for parents-to-be. It’s designed to help you feel more confident about becoming a parent. You’ll meet weekly with other expectant parents whose babies are due around the same time as yours. Baby Steps covers pregnancy, labour, and birth as well as baby’s development, life changes, and getting to know your newborn. It also provides the opportunity to share experiences and build a supportive community.
We believe in building your confidence as a parent and are alongside you with guidance and practical tips, preparing to welcome your baby.
