After your baby has arrived and the initial adjustment period is over, you will start to settle into a new routine. You may start looking for something to do with baby and this is where the vast array of baby classes can help.

Benefits of Baby Classes
Baby classes are not just for your baby, they can play an important role for you as a parent too.

Having a baby is such an exciting time and having time off from work, getting to know your little one is precious. We know that money is one of the biggest concerns for anyone who’s expecting a baby, and if money is a little stretched each month when you are working, you may find it difficult financially to take time off work. So with a little forward planning and ensuring you receive all the financial help you are entitled to, you can hopefully enjoy a stress-free maternity leave.

After your baby is born it is expected that they will lose some of their birth weight, up to 10% is considered normal for a breastfed baby. Four out of five babies will be back up to their birth weight within two weeks of being born, but what if your baby doesn’t?

There are so many exciting things to do and organise when pregnant, and packing your hospital bag is definitely up there, as it means you are only a matter of weeks away from meeting your little one (unless you are super organised and pack really early!)

Below are a few essentials and luxuries we think are necessary in your hospital bag. If you want more information on what to pop in there, make sure you check out our video which has more detail.
