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 👏.

We absolutely loved this course. The free 2 hour baby care workshop was really informative, so we had high expectations for the full day antenatal course, and it didn't disappoint. The midwife leading the session was so professional, reassuring and knowledgable. Compared to other online antenatal classes we looked at or attended, we found this one the most comprehensive and mirrored NHS advice. We asked a few questions in the chat and they were all answered in so much detail. Also super handy to have the presentation, videos and tonnes of other resources for the next 6 months that we can refer back to. This isn't a course to connect with other parents, but that wasn't what we were looking for. Can't wait for the breastfeeding course now!!Thanks again!

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!

Great class- lots of info but wasn't overwhelming. You get to ask questions in real time and the midwife answers all of them. Definitely recommend!

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!

Thoroughly enjoyed this course, so informative and Ellie is brilliant too. She was able to answer everyone’s questions and was really lovely. I have now left this course feeling much more prepared and armed with knowledge. Thank you so much - keep up the great work.

Fantastic service from the Baby Academy, I’ve done two courses now with Rachel and both have been incredibly helpful, she’s got so much knowledge and answers all the questions you have, definitely well worth the money and if I could give more than 5* I would!

Fantastic online all day course with Midwife Ellie. Super informative and lots of practical tips for us as first time parents. We weren’t made to feel pressured to do anything, and it was stressed throughout it’s your birth, YOUR choice!Would 100% definitely recommend to friends and family.

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

Lots of useful information. The host Ellie very lovely, kind, and patient. Thank you very much for the opportunity to get my concerns off my head. I'm looking forward to applying what I've learned today and I am very excited and I am feeling more confident now about handling situations that may occur. There were a lot of myths that I heard around me, some of them from people without experience or from people that they think they know everything etc. Or people who think that what was good for them, is good for yourself as well. But now I can easily make the difference and I can distinguish what is myth and what is something for real. It's better when you can hear the truth or confirmation from an expert. Especially when is about your little baby. You will want the best for your little one. Thank you again and I will warmly recommend you in the future! Lots of love ♥️

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.

21:10 21 Mar 21
As first time parents during lockdown we found this course invaluable. The midwife who lead the course, Ellie, had recently had a baby herself, was very knowledgeable and answered everyone’s questions in a friendly professional manner. It truly was an eye opening course which has made us feel more prepared. We did the free ‘baby care’ course and the paid ‘antenatal all- day course which was worth the money and have since recommended it to several friends. Thank you very much BabyAcademy!

15:39 21 Mar 21
Odessa was a great instructor. Very informative and made the class fun and interactive. She was very thorough with all of the material and answering of our questions. The demonstrations were very helpful. I would highly recommend this workshop and Odessa to everybody!

Really helpful resource, especially for first time moms or moms who need a refresher! Also great if your partner is feeling like they want to be more involved and learn more information. The rates are reasonable and they are flexible with covering the classes through insurance, HSA, etc.I took the Baby Care and Birthing Classes. Both teachers were friendly, engaging and willing to answer any and all questions! Thanks again for these training during this exciting yet nerve wracking time.

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.
20:24 02 Mar 21
Completed the full online workshop and Anne was an amazing teacher. Felt extremely informed and empowered after the sessions. She was so friendly and engaging. Took time to answer all questions and from this I now feel more confident going into the last stage of my pregnancy and more prepared for labor. Thank you Baby Academy, look forward to completing the next online class with you!

Really great class! I learned so much and feel much more prepared for the birth of my baby. I highly recommend Dr. Elle as well, she was awesome and provided a lot of helpful extra information that I didn't know I needed! Overall wonderful class and I highly recommend to any new expecting moms!

Excellent course! I'm a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner but my husband and I are first time parents, so I wanted a course we could do together. I learned quite a lot that I'll be passing on to my patients in practice. He's also feeling confident about tackling fatherhood.Dr. Elle was awesome. Thank you!

Loved the class! Started with the 2 hour free class which led me to booking this one... worth every penny! Emily was so knowledgeable and my husband and I feel like we learned so much. We feel prepared and are armed with the right questions to ask as we approach our upcoming delivery, Thanks to all!

13:51 21 Feb 21
Thanks to Louise for a great class! I have completed both the free 2 hour Baby Care Workshop and the Ultimate Antenatal Class and I truly believe that these classes are an invaluable resource for anyone expecting a baby. I particularly appreciate how much the partner is included and encouraged to participate, which is so important.

Emily was a fantastic instructor! I learned so much and thought the class was well paced and the appropriate number of breaks were given. The structure is great with questions after each section - less distractions/people chiming in allow you to focus on the material. I like Emily's/The Baby Academy's approach that while this is what is recommended, every baby and situation is different so things will vary person to person and family to family.I wish Emily could consult with me through the rest of pregnancy and when baby is here!

The online class was great, really enjoyed it. Sophie and Ghislaine were both very kind and approachable. Definitely feel more prepared of what to expect during birth and labour now. The resource pack and video recordings they send after the class are also really useful. I absolutely love the Baby Academy Instagram page as well, full of handy tips and resources. These classes are a heaven-sent during these Covid times, especially for first-time parents with lots of questions.

12:21 02 Feb 21
Great one day Antenatal Classes run online. So informative and midwife Louise was so grounded- it didnt feel overwhelming. Worth the fee and more! 🙂 Also did the two hour Baby care workshop (free) with Jean and she was amazing too. Made all the learning easy to understand and kept it relevant throughout the day.

We took both the 2 hour baby care class and the 7 hour birthing class online. The birthing class is long but the information was well paced. Both classes were very helpful for us as expecting parents. Odessa was an excellent presenter. The baby academy sends you slides and resources after the fact, and you have the option to watch the class again.

Stella B.
12:16 17 Jan 21
Really good classes, me and my partner did the baby care class which is 2 hours and then decided to do the full day class. As first time parents it can be overwhelming, but with both classes we can safely say that being informed has really made us feel at ease.We had 2 different midwifes, I cannot remember the First Ladies name (sorry) but the second lady was Ellie. They were both amazing, they take their time to go through everything and questions after. With everything virtually at the moment as well that really helped.I have recommended to friends that are pregnant as well and will happily recommend to others too.Thank you baby academy for making both of us feel more relaxed about the rest of the pregnancy and start to parenthood.

My husband and I loved our experience with Baby Academy US. Amber was very sweet and interactive. She answered every question we had. We enjoyed the breaks she gave us throughout. We took notes the whole time and we are excited to look back at slides/presentation for future reference. Will recommend this class to future mamas and friends!
Marissa G.
17:38 13 Dec 20
I learned so much and I feel so excited now for my baby girl to arrive! Being able to ask questions helped so much - it's so hard at the moment with Covid and feeling isolated. I will definitely be recommending this class!
Domoni M.
14:46 13 Dec 20
Great Course. Really enjoyed the flow and although there was a lot of info to take in the course it was not too heavy. The questions at the end of each section made it interactive also and actually allowed you to ask questions you might not do if you had to speak.Jean was a great instructor also!

08:20 08 Dec 20
The Baby Academy hosted a superb online antenatal class from Jean at the weekend. Jean was really informative and has made us feel at ease about what is to come regarding labour and the 4th trimester. I would highly recommend you do this course (you won't regret it!) and you can also get money back from your health insurance for doing it which is a win win. With access to this information and a video of this live class for the next 6 months I know if I have any queries or forget something I have a resource to look back on.
Ciara D.
18:37 07 Dec 20
This online course was incredibly informative and kept our attention the entire day. It was just what we needed, well rounded and touched on not only labor/delivery but the 4th trimester and health/safety/CPR. Thanks again
Erica Y.
14:58 07 Dec 20
This was very informative and so happy to have taken the class. Money well spent. Also, Odessa was great and answering every question even when there seemed like a lot of them as all questions were good. I feel more prepared as a first time mama.

14:22 01 Dec 20
My husband and I originally signed up for the free online 2 hour baby care workshop as all NHS classes are unfortunately not running. We found it so useful, that we didn’t hesitate to book the full day course which covered everything from labour to baby CPR. Laura provided us with with so much useful information, that we now feel so much more prepared for the arrival of our little one in January. Thanks so much Baby Academy for all your help ☺️
Sophie G.
12:55 22 Nov 20
We have attended both the free 2 hour and full day course offered by Baby Academy and we were extremely impressed by the presentation of the antenatal course as well as the speakers themselves! The best part was how all the information was explained to the point that you could see why certain things need to be done a certain way and what to expect from all stages of the pregnancy. The team were brilliant in answering all questions the class had and made the sessions very enjoyable and easy to follow. Would highly recommend! We have told any of our family and friends expecting to check it out (Shout out to Sue and Aisling who did our sessions they were fab!)

I found the course excellent, so detailed and being a first-time mom Susan really put my mind at ease about a few topics. She has a very calm and relaxed way of presenting and having to cover so many topics in one day, really made it very interesting. I loved the way there was time for lots of Q&A’s after each section. As this gave an opportunity to recap on certain items, which was very useful.The course was recommended to me by a friend and I will certainly be encouraging any soon to be moms to sign up.Thanks again!

Excellent antenatal course. I would highly recommend. Susan was so informative and so giving of her time to answer all of our questions. We learned so much from the day and we are so glad we have the videos to watch back when the baby arrives. We didn't have to worry about taking notes or remember everything. We just sat back and enjoyed all the new information. I would highly recommend this course.
Fiona
11:48 04 Jun 20
I attended the breastfeeding class with Fiona and it was absolutely brilliant! I would highly recommend it to anyone even remotely considering breastfeeding. Fiona created a lovely comfortable atmosphere. The small class size meant there was plenty of time for questions. The lecture was really well constructed, interesting, informative and well delivered. It was excellent value for money and I got most of it back with health insurance anyway.

Very informative classes with knowledgeable and helpful midwives with so much experience. Very attentive aswell to respond to queries. Excellent detailed, understandable & informative notes.

Aisling L.
10:54 02 Jun 20
We can't recommend The Baby Academy enough!! We attended one of their free workshops on Baby Care and recently completed one of their Online Antenatal Classes. Susan was amazing, she explained everything perfectly and made sure we had all understood all the important concepts and got all our questions answered. We are very happy we went with The Baby Academy for our antenatal classes and recommend them to everyone.
