“I‘ve got to confess I’ve become a Birth Baby Balance junkie. We started our journey by taking part in the hypnobirthing course and have since done the baby massage course, weaning and 6-12 baby development course. Sarah, Kirsten and Lucy deliver the courses in such a relaxed and informative way that you always come away feeling well informed and more confident in tackling parenthood in the early stages. Being lockdown parents it is so easy to get confused on what your baby should or shouldn’t be doing, be it sleep or weaning or anything in between with all the noise out there from social media, friends and family. Birth Baby Balance provides you with up to date advice which you can rely on and they have a strong belief that each mum is their own expert and this helps you trust your instinct, ignore all the noise and focus on being the best parents you can be. We feel so lucky to have had the support of you all to help guide us through early parenthood during a global pandemic. It has been the best journey we have been on and we have a lot to thank you all for.” Lucy, Christopher and baby Felix, October 2020
