Why choose our antenatal course?
Most of the mothers we visit after giving birth tell us:
“During my pregnancy, everyone gave me theoretical information… nice, yes… but not very useful.
Very few courses truly prepare you for labor and delivery, practically advise you on how to deal with the postpartum period, how to best start breastfeeding and promptly resolve any difficulties that compromise it.
Most antenatal courses are standard , with basic information that is not very useful from a practical point of view.
Almost no course tells you that you can prevent colic and reflux in newborns , explains how to eat healthily during pregnancy to nourish the baby's development, informs you about the motor development of newborns and the prevention of flat head in newborns , etc.
That's why when we decided to record this course, we created it modern , innovative , practical and multidisciplinary .
