Welcome to our antenatal course! We are delighted to have you join us in our picturesque venue, where you can settle in with refreshments and light breakfast snacks as you get comfortable. To start the session, we will introduce you to Sr. Linda, who will be guiding you through this journey. We will also go over a few simple house rules to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Finally, we’ll begin with a fun activity to help you get to know one another, creating a supportive and friendly environment as you prepare for this exciting stage of life.
In this module, we explore the incredible process of vaginal birth and how to approach it with confidence. How to optimize your body’s natural hormonal cocktail to support a positive experience. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the physiology of labour and birth, including the stages of labour, early signs to look out for, and when to go to the hospital. We’ll also address the role of fear in childbirth and how overcoming it can benefit both mom and baby.
Practical coping techniques such as positioning, acupressure, breathing, and touch will be covered, along with guidance on how your partner can offer meaningful support.
We’ll discuss the second stage of labour, including pushing techniques, perineal massage, and the topic of episiotomy. Lastly, we’ll guide you through creating a birth wish list, helping you feel prepared while also considering a flexible Plan B if needed.
In this module, we will explore the different labour interventions and medicated pain relief options available during birth, helping you make informed decisions that align with your birth preferences. We will discuss Caesarean birth, including the differences between a conventional Caesarean and a skin-on-skin approach, which promotes early bonding with your baby. Understanding your options empowers you to make choices that feel right for you and your baby.

Welcoming a newborn into the world is an exciting and transformative experience. In this session, we’ll help you understand what to expect in those precious first moments and days. We’ll discuss newborn appearance, common medical procedures, and typical behaviours, so you feel prepared and reassured.
You’ll learn about the Apgar score, what it measures, and why it’s important. We’ll also explore primitive reflexes, their role in early development, and how to recognize different states of consciousness and stimulation in your baby.
Key topics such as jaundice, circumcision, and vaccinations will also be covered, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions and feel confident in caring for your newborn.
Bathing your baby for the first time can feel both exciting and a little daunting, but with the right guidance, it can become a wonderful bonding experience. In this session, we’ll share practical baby bath tips and cover the essentials of basic newborn care, including cord care, gentle cleaning of the genitals, face, and delicate skin. We’ll also discuss the importance of baby massage in promoting relaxation and development, as well as how freedom of movement supports healthy growth. This hands-on module will help you feel confident in caring for your little one with ease and reassurance.
Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it’s also a learned skill for both you and your baby. In this module, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know to establish a strong start to your breastfeeding journey.
We’ll discuss the importance of skin-to-skin contact and “The Golden Hour” after birth, as well as essential breast care and self-care for a comfortable experience. You’ll learn how to prepare for feeding, recognize your baby’s feeding cues, and ensure a proper latch and positioning for effective nursing.
We’ll also cover how to identify a good feed, address common concerns, and debunk breastfeeding myths so you feel empowered and confident in nourishing your baby.
Bring your pillow and whatever you will need to feel comfortable for the day.
We encourage you to attend antenatal classes between 25 and 35 weeks of pregnancy to give yourself ample time to prepare for birth and parenthood. These sessions will help you understand the birth process, explore pain relief options (both medicated and unmedicated), and develop a personalized birth plan that aligns with your preferences.
You’ll also benefit from practical demonstrations, including breathing techniques, acupressure, and optimal positioning for labour. Beyond birth, the classes provide essential guidance on newborn care and breastfeeding, ensuring you feel confident and well-prepared for the exciting journey ahead.
While it is not mandatory to attend the entire course, we highly recommend it to ensure you feel fully prepared for all possible birth outcomes. Each session provides valuable knowledge and skills that can help you navigate your birth experience with confidence. Even if you are planning a Caesarean birth, attending the full course will help you recognize the signs of labour, in case your baby decides to arrive earlier than expected. Our goal is to equip you with the information and support you need, no matter how your birth journey unfolds.
Little Bright Fox – is the most gorgeous studio ever! My little boy and I love attending class every week! This is an environment where we both feel safe and free to be ourselves. Not only has my baby learnt so much but so have I. We have made many friends and loads of beautiful memories that I will always be able to cherish for life. A HUGE THANK YOU to Dani and Jen for absolutely everything.
LOVE LOVE LOVE our weekly classes at Little Bright Fox. It’s most definitely the highlight of our week, not only do I learn fun activities to stimulate my baby with but as a new Mom you get the opportunity to just breathe and talk about your challenges with fellow Moms who are experiencing exactly the same thing.
Added bonus you leave with a tired bubs ready for a nap
Highly recommend Little Bright Fox! In February, I started at the moms and cubs group for new moms and all I can say is WOW! What an absolutely amazing course! My little man and I were guided through incredible stimulation activities which we continue to work on at home. This helps his growth both physically and mentally. Danielle and Jen are organised, the studio is gorgeous and clean and the experience is all round phenomenal.
If you’re still unsure about joining – just do it! I promise you’ll love it. We all do.
My daughter and I love visiting the Little Bright Fox Mom and Baby Studio and have been attending classes since she was 8 weeks old (she is now 7months). It is such a warm, welcoming environment and it is the highlight of our week to visit the studio for our weekly classes. My daughter has such a fun time and I love learning about the physical and mental stimulation activities that we also practice at home. Thank you Jen and Danielle for providing us with such a fantastic experience. Xxx
Such a beautiful environment to meet other mommies and learn new and fun ways to engage with my newborn. I gained confidence and skills to apply with baby’s development. My baby loved the activities that we did. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and willing to offer advice based on their wealth of experience, and they go out of their way to equip parents with as much knowledge as they can to raise healthy happy kiddos.
Mom and Baby classes are a MUST in the first few months of your child’s life. It’s a great place to learn and more importantly socialise with other mommies! Little Bright Fox 🦊 has a fantastic setup with a community of experts at your disposal. I would really highly recommend this Mom and Baby studio to any new mommy.
