    I’ve completed the free Baby Care and Breastfeeding classes with The Baby Academy and have found both incredibly informative and reassuring. I can’t remember the name of the lady who led the Baby Care class, but she was absolutely amazing, and Sophie, who led the Breastfeeding class, was equally excellent.

    Both sessions were free, yet the level of information given was outstanding. The midwives didn’t stop for the full hour and a half, and they shared an abundance of practical, evidence-based advice. There was also plenty of opportunity to ask questions specific to the topic, which I really valued.

    After each class, the PowerPoint slides are sent out, which is really helpful for revisiting the information afterwards. I feel genuinely grateful that The Baby Academy offers these classes for free, supported by sponsors, as they provide such high-quality education accessible to so many people.

    The practitioners running the sessions are clearly exceptionally skilled in their field and bring a lot of passion to what they do. I was initially worried that my second class might not live up to the first, but the consistency in delivery and structure across both sessions really demonstrated the excellence of their training and commitment to quality.

    I have the Ultimate Breastfeeding class coming up, and I also plan to attend the antenatal class. I would highly recommend The Baby Academy to anyone preparing for birth and early parenthood.

    All classes were ran by kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable professionals. The classes were broken down into a clear structure which was easy to follow and the time to ask questions was useful. Myself and my partner finished all classes feeling more informed and supported than before so thank you! We have now signed up for the paid first aid course and I’m keeping an eye out for more dates for the mental health and weaning courses. Additionally, support for any queries via email was prompt and helpful so an all round great team of true professionals. I’ve already recommended Baby Academy to my cousin who is pregnant and will continue to do so with other friends/family. Thank you again!

    Attended quite a few of their free classes. Loved the fact that the sessions were live and I was able to ask questions which were promptly answered. Gave a lot of clarity and created a better understanding of the new period coming as I am a first time mum. Gave me more confidence overall in what I should do in cases of emergency but also just simply in the day to day life. I really enjoyed the free classes and my partner attended all of them with me and he also agreed the classes were really useful even for him to understand what he would need to do but also what I will be going through during this period of change and how he can support. These classes were the best we have attended so far, am really lucky to have had those for free and also to have such a supportive partner. I definitely recommend the classes to future mums and friends

    We have attended 4 free baby academy classes (baby-care, hypobirthing, breastfeeding) and 1 ultimate baby care training - all midwives that presented/did online training were excellent (please pass on my thanks to them and also IT Live Support when there are sometimes online glitches)- good pace for the course, good content, good level of information for first time mummy&daddy-to-be making our journey of preparing for the baby less daunting and more exciting! The information pack that comes after the training are very useful/helpful. Looking forward to see more of your classes. Keep up the great work! We can see that you are all proud of your work for the expectant parents community! Appreciate it 🙂 Many Thanks!
