Frequently asked questions

Is this for Wakefield parents only?

This course is free for anyone that pays council tax to Wakefield Council. If you are out of area, you are still able to attend but there will be a charge of £60 - which should be paid in cash on the first session.

How far along in my pregnancy do I need to be?

We usually suggest starting at around 30 weeks of pregnancy. But it is completely up to you when you would like to start preparing!

Can my partner/supporter come?

Absolutely! We encourage partners or supporters to attend! One ticket covers you and a supporter.

How many tickets do I need to book?

One ticket covers you and your birth partner or supporter for the full 6 weeks. That could be your partner, your spouse, your mum, your best friend - whoever you want by your side on your birth journey! Please only reserve one ticket per pair, so that we can leave spaces open for other parents.

What kinds of things are covered?

Birth prep, skin to skin, golden hour, the first day with your baby, benefits of breastmilk, frequency of feeds, cluster feeding, safe sleep, different breastfeeding positions, 'What might go wrong?', public feeding.. and much more!

Is it just about breastfeeding?

No, you don't need to have made any decisions on how you want to feed your baby. We supply evidence based information, and you make your own decisions from there! We also cover topics like safe sleep and responsiveness which are universal no matter how you choose to feed your baby.
