Private 1-1 Newborn Essentials Session

Feel confident before your baby arrives

Session length: 90 minutes

Preparing for birth is important, but so is preparing for everything that comes after.

This personalised one-to-one session is designed to give you and your birth partner the knowledge and confidence to care for your newborn from day one. Held in the comfort of your own home or online, the session is tailored to your needs, allowing plenty of time to ask questions and focus on the topics that matter most to you.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, welcoming a baby after a long gap, or simply want a refresher, this session will help you feel calm, prepared and ready for those first precious weeks.

During your session we can cover:

• Normal newborn appearance and behaviour
• Safe sleep and reducing the risk of SIDS
• Nappy changing and umbilical cord care
• Bathing and basic baby care
• Dressing your baby appropriately for the weather
• Feeding cues and responsive feeding
• Newborn sleep and realistic expectations
• Settling and soothing techniques
• Skin-to-skin contact and bonding
• When to seek medical advice
• What to expect during the first days and weeks at home
• Practical tips to help make the transition to parenthood feel a little easier

As every family is different, the session can be adapted to focus on the areas you would like the most support with.

What's included?

• A 90-minute private session
• Available online or in your own home (travel charges may apply outside the local area)
• A personalised, evidence-based session led by an experienced NHS midwife
• Time to ask as many questions as you like
• A digital information guide to keep after your session

Is this session right for me?

This session is ideal if you would prefer individual support rather than a group workshop, have specific questions about caring for your baby, or simply want reassurance before your little one arrives.

You'll leave feeling informed, reassured and ready to welcome your baby with confidence.
