Antenatal classes Twickenham 

 🌿 A perfect refresher for second-time parents or a gentle, supportive boost to your antenatal journey 

 Most antenatal classes skim the surface when it comes to feeding and early bonding—but Nourish & Nurture goes deeper.

This course is designed to give you the essential guidance and confidence you need to feed and care for your baby—whether by breast, bottle, or both.

In a calm, supportive space, we’ll cover what traditional antenatal classes often miss: the emotional side of feeding, responsive parenting techniques, and real-world strategies for nurturing your baby with confidence and connection. 

 💛  But this is more than just feeding. We’ll explore mindful parenting skills that help you tune into your baby’s needs, create a secure and loving environment, and build a foundation of trust from the very start . 💛 

Nourish & Nurture offers a heart-centered, empowering approach to early parenting. Join us and step into your baby’s first moments feeling truly prepared, confident, and connected.

You are welcome to book onto the whole course or individual sessions
