    Olivia Mills:

    I had previously attended The Baby Academy's fantastic classes while I was pregnant and thoroughly enjoyed them. One of the things I loved most was how easy they were to join. I didn't have to have my camera on or be up and ready to leave the house, which was especially appreciated on a Saturday morning after a busy week at work!

    Every class was extremely informative and gave me so much confidence throughout my pregnancy.

    Just last Saturday, I attended the Starting Solids class, which was my first class since having my daughter. It was full of vital information, and it was really reassuring to be able to check that what I was already doing, as we had already started solids, was correct. I also picked up some great tips that I'll definitely be using going forward.

    I couldn't recommend The Baby Academy enough. Their classes are so informative, accessible, and easy to fit into family life. I'll definitely be attending more of their classes in the future!

    I love the classes with Baby Academy!
    I was a little reluctant to attending face to face group classes in my area for a few reasons, so Baby Academy suits my needs perfectly.
    I love the fact that I can sit in bed on a Saturday morning with my cup of tea and listen to qualified, experienced facilitators with so much useful information for FREE or at amazing low rates!!
    It's been a great experience and I now feel more equipped and knowledgeable throughout my pregnancy and hopefully through to my postnatal journey too! Thank you all at BA! 🙏🏻💛

    I felt this course was very useful as I start the weaning journey, my little man is almost four months. This course has gave me great confidence going forward on our next steps. The tips and tricks have been very useful especially preparing food and then storing it in the freezer in ice cube tray and then pool together in a freezer bag is so clever and useful saving time and effort which I will appreciate very much. I would recommend this course to all parents.

    I've found all the classes I've taken so far to be very helpful. Ive solely relied on these classes to help me feel be more prepared being a first time mom. I already have the starting solids class booked and have paid for my place in the ultimate breastfeeding class. Now just waiting for a different date to become available for the perinatal mental health class. I really appreciate the fact that classes are available for free and the time slotted and the fact that its virtual is really helpful. The notes provided after is a godsend also and round of applause to all the midwifes that have been providing each class so far. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!.

    I attended most of the classes a few moths ago when I was pregnant with my little girl Araya who is now 9 months 🤯
    But I recently attend the solid food class so I could start getting more confidence in feeding her because im very very nervous about her chocking and sometimes I gwt frustrated on some people say you can feed your baby this then I check the hse and see other wise so this class definitely gave me clarification on that and also gave me more confidence. I am now 18 weeks pregnant and really looking forward to doing the classes again for a refresher. And I have and will continue to recommend these classes to people because they are very helpful and free also when I went to the classes last year I didn't notice I agreed to be entered into the competitions but I actually one a photography shoot from foran and sauvage and they where amazing and I've already been in touch woth them for this baby so that was an extra unexpected bonus. But thank you so much for your classes and knowledge .
