Life With Your Newborn Course

Expert-led Classes to Prepare for When Baby Comes Home

Beyond Birth: Life With Your Newborn

Our Life With Your Newborn Class focuses on what happens after your baby arrives, helping you feel confident, supported and prepared for those first days, weeks and months of newborn life.


Led by experienced Baby Nurse Kay Whitby, this warm and practical workshop gives you and your support person the knowledge and reassurance you need as you prepare to welcome your baby home.


From understanding your newborn’s needs to feeding, settling, sleep, and finding the right support, we’ll help you feel more confident navigating the transition into parenthood. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or looking for a refresher, you’ll leave feeling informed, reassured and ready for the journey ahead.


This is more than just a class, it’s an opportunity to connect with other Brisbane families who are on the same path. Pregnancy and the early weeks after birth are a special time to build friendships, share experiences and create your own support network.


Each session is tailored to the group, allowing time for your questions and the topics that matter most to you. We’ll help you understand what to expect, where to find support, and how to feel more confident caring for your newborn.
