Welcome to The Baby Academy

Given the evolving nature of Covid-19 and the uncertainty facing a large number of public gatherings around Ireland, we have made a number of decisions to support expectant parents during this time. To ensure the on-going availability of antenatal education, our team here at The Baby Academy have created an online antenatal class, ensuring you receive evidence-based information to make the best decisions for you and your baby. The online class is designed to help first-time expectant parents navigate the often overwhelming amount of content around pregnancy and early parenthood. We understand that becoming a parent for the first time can leave you wondering where to start. We provide the Mums and Dads of today with the most up-to-date and evidence-based information, whilst leaving you in control of making your own decisions.

We understand that the parents of today lead busy lives, so we have designed convenient a 1-day online antenatal class. It is our aim to provide you with knowledge, confidence and peace of mind.

Great education all start with one thing: great teaching. So we went on a mission to find the most well-loved and passionate instructors. Our team of midwives are leading experts in their field and ensure you leave our antenatal class armed with the knowledge you need to make your own decisions.

At our online antenatal classes, we work passionately and thoughtfully, we ensure parents feel relaxed and are prepared for the life-changing journey ahead.
