the Refresher
the refresher course description:
Ok, so you've had a baby, and now you're having another one! Do you remember anything from your previous experience? Do you want a refresher? This is a great two-hour online Zoom class that will help you feel more confident giving birth again and ready to welcome your newest baby.
The first hour of this class is a quick refresher on newborns.
Reviewing normal newborn appearances and behaviour
What tests do newborns have in the first 6 weeks
The second hour is an interactive conversation with Sarah Leslie, who has been a midwife for 20 years. You can ask any questions to help prepare you for your next labour and baby.
Discuss what you'd like for your next birth and how to successfully advocate for it.
How to be successful at feeding your newborn i.e. combo feeding, tandem feeding, breastfeeding.
Parenting two or more children.
How to support sibling transitions.
The fun thing about this class is that as a group you get to decide what the content of the session is. You will also receive our Postpartum Survival Guide, which will help to fill in any blanks you might have.
Groups are welcome, so if you have a bunch of your friends having babies around the same time, you are welcome to ask to book a private refresher course for the group.
