Baby Steps

Service details

Most antenatal programmes tell you about the medical aspects of birth. Baby Steps goes much further and will help you get ready for your new life with your baby. Welcoming your baby into the world can be very exciting, but it also has its challenges and can leave some people feeling worried. Baby Steps aims to help you cope with all the new experiences that will come your way.

Together, we will talk about our babies’ development, what could change for you and your partner, giving birth and getting to know your baby, caring for our babies and ourselves and people who can offer support. Baby Steps is one of the ways we support families to give their children the best possible start in life.
