I joined the 1 day Antenatal class with Jean and it was brilliant! There’s so much information to take in but Jean made it a very engaging session. I’ve also attended the shorter classes and can say that they have all been very well organised, informative and insightful (along with some nice tips here and there!).I would definitely recommend these classes to expectant parents!

Rita Y.

Very informative, easy to access and great support. Myself and my boyfriend appreciated the relatable content and has helped us feel prepared for the arrival of our first baby. Would 100% recommend

Amy W.

It was really amazing and formative. I wish I've had this class before my first baby. So many things were named that I struggled without seeking a help. Holding my second 6 weeks old now and feeling much more confident about my mental wellbeing. Thank you

Kristine Z.

Excellent full day antenatal class from Jean.. would highly recommend it for any 1st time parents!

Sinead K.

Excellent course. Very interesting & insightful from start to finish. Would highly recommend to new Mams & Dads!

Evelyn K.

Brilliant class, really informative and the midwife giving it was fantastic at answering any queries we had. Really recommend to any mum's to be

Aoife-Anne C.

Class was brilliant, light hearted when needed and so informative. Sonia was excellent! I loved that the information given was not pushing one way or another.Also the staff on reception were fantastic. Thank you all so much!I'd highly recommend the full antenatal class and also the free classes they offer.

Fiona H.

I really appreciated all of the practical advice offered in this class, nothing seemed daunting or inaccessible & it's served to give me great comfort for the postnatal period ahead

Thanks so much for another wonderful workshop by the Baby Academy! I’ve attended a few of your free online workshops, and each of them has been super informative, well-run, and delivered really well by experts in the field. It's great to be able to access this support around the big transition of becoming a parent... I so appreciate that these workshops are available for free... Thanks so much for offering this - it's invaluable.

Maeve O.

I did the online antenatal course and really enjoyed it. Very informative and insightful. Learned so much, so highly recommend.

Jill R.

I completed this workshop following the baby care workshop a couple of weeks ago. both have been invaluable to both myself and my partner in preparation for our first baby. We were lucky on both occassions to have Jean as our midwife. She was so honest and open and answered any question we had as parents to be. I will definitely be recommending your workshops to moms to be in the future. Thank you to all at The Baby Academy.

Denise M.

Can't recommend the baby academy enough! The midwifes were passionate and highly knowledgeable. Myself and my partner attended the antenatal, breastfeeding and baby first aid before the birth of our first baby. It prepared us for everything we needed to know, the online courses went at a lovely pace, easy to understand and if at all doubtful they give the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each topic.You can also look back over the material once the course has ended which I found extremely helpful.

Kelly K.

We done the antenatal, first aid and breastfeeding classes and found all 3 incredibly useful. We have a 1 month only now and are constantly referring back to the class information for help. The tutors were very personable and kept the content interesting and interactive. I would highly recommend the classes to any soon to be parents!

Paul M.

Absolutely superb class from Jean, informative, friendly and just the right pace. A massive amount to get through and done with professionalism and ease. Highly recommended.

Paul C.

Jean was absolutely amazing, I couldn't fault any of that class and would highly recommend the baby academy because of her workshop. I feel so well equipped to become a first time parent now. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge Jean!!

Salome Mc D.

We had such a lovely Ultimate Antenatal Class with Jean! She is so lovely, passionate and so knowledgeable. Lots of practical great info and tips and even though the class was very long, she knew how to make it enjoyable and to have your attention. I also liked the fact she had the course really well structured and easy to follow. And not the least each question has been addressed. Thank you Jean and Baby Academy!

Emilia A

I attended the antenatal class on Saturday 28/08/21. It was amazing and so informative. Jean was brilliant and explained everything in great detail but made it really easy to understand and remember. I originally booked the class for the 21/08/21 but something came up and I couldn’t attend on that day. I emailed them asking to reschedule and they were so quick to respond, so helpful and changed the day with no problem. Highly recommend it for all expectant parents!

Christina M.

Fantastic antenatal courses with really experienced and helpful midwives. Highly reccommended!

Lucy P.

Great class, jampacked with everything you need to know to prepare you for labour, birth, caring for newborn and self and first aid. Would highly recommend.

Mary T.

Full day antenatal class was great, Jean was fantastic, very engaging and learnt loads, feeling alot more prepared 🙂 Thank you!

sarah D.

Definitely advised. I found all the Baby Academy online courses to be infornative, useful and high quality. I really liked attending many of their interesting classes!

Chiara B.

That was great, really easy to understand, very informative, covered so many topics. Will definitely recommend. Thanks a million Elaine and everyone at the baby academy. Great to have for any parents or people working with babies or toddlers. Also covers CPR for older children / adults too.

Lynsey T.

It was a really lovely course. Jean was very good at explaining everything and made it way easier to understand. Great course would recommend to friends and Family.

Catherine B.

I loved to take the antenatal classes. I'm a first time mom and I had no clue about " time to go to hospital, breastfeeding, baby safety, bath and etc". So many things I've learned. I can definitely say I feel more confident now. I super recommend the baby academy online classes. Jean was fantastic 👏.

Moni L.

Brilliant antenatal class, thank you so much Jean! Lively and very informative. We feel more prepared to welcome our first one in July!Free classes are amazing too - great content and midwives always very knowlegeable & enthusiastic.

Aure L.

Great classes. A lot of information

Monika O.

I can't recommend the Baby Academy classes enough. Myself and my husband have attended the free 2 hour breastfeeding class and another free baby safety class. We then attended a full day antenatal class yesterday hosted by the lovely Jean. What a fabulous class. Jean is amazing and so informative. She made the class really interesting, you could listen to her all day. We've learned so much from these Baby Academy classes and feel much more confident and comfortable for the arrival of our baba. Thank you ladies!

Elaine G.

Did the free baby care workshop and found it excellent so signed up for the full day. It was so comprehensive and the midwife Jean who gave the course was so lovely and informative and managed to deliver so much content without it being overwhelming. Would highly recommend to any first time expecting parents!

Shonagh O' C.

I can't recommend the Baby Academy courses highly enough. A friend sent me an instagram link to the free Baby Care workshop and I subsequently did the baby safety free workshop. These courses were so good I then signed up for the full day Ante-Natal course, even though I am in the process of doing the HSE ante natal classes based out of my maternity hospital. I signed up because the quality of every course I had attended was second to none - the midwives are so well informed, engaging and make the workshops so practical and fun. I'm a first time mam and actually feel very well prepared now with really good hints and practical tips, in addition to must know information. I genuinely didn't feel the full day go with Sonia. She was incredible. Thanks so much to The Baby Academy

Hilary P.

Such well delivered online ante-natal classes by very good health professionals. Extrememly informative and invaluable to those first time expectant Mums to be. We enjoyed it so much and got so much out of it.

Laura H.

Loved the sessions provided by them, I liked the team specially as they are very humble and patient in dealing with all kind of questions. The best utilisation of money so far!

Komal S.

I first signed up for the free baby academy antenatal class and my partner and I loved it so much we booked the full day one straight after! Both classes were absolutely amazing, very informative but also thoroughly enjoyable😊 the classes feel like getting advice from a friend, as opposed to a lecture. We are both feeling like pros after the classes and we can’t wait to put all our knowledge to good use in a few weeks. Thanks baby academy❤️

Emily M.

Since starting The Baby Academy, we have had hundreds of questions from first time expectant parents. From nappies, to diet, from baby finances to labour pains…and everything in between. All these questions might leave you wondering…where do I start?! But don’t worry, we’ve got your back and cut out that work for you. We have saved all our answers as blog posts so all you new Mums out there can find the answers from our expert Midwives.
