This class got my partner and I talking practically about becoming parents: Where will Baby sleep? How will we maximize our sleep? What items do we really need? What kind of diapers will we use? We were given information (i.e. the pros and cons) on so many issues and were left to make decisions that work best for us. I really appreciated the class and would recommend it to new parents who, like us, just don't know where to begin planning life for three.

This course provided it us with the knowledge and confidence we need to bring our bundle of joy into this world! In these uncertain times it reminded us to focus on things we can control! Erin was a great teacher. Thank you so much!

Great class! We feel informed and more prepared, making the labour and delivery process seem less daunting and scary

Julia was an amazing educator and I would highly recommend her and this course to new parents. It was incredibly helpful.

The course was incredibly informative, and I’ll absolutely recommend it to others as a valuable experience. I would, however, mention that there aren’t take-home materials or reference books provided, so it’s helpful to be prepared to take thorough notes during the sessions to make sure all the great information isn’t forgotten.

I went into the class feeling apprehensive about giving birth and what to expect during labour. I left feeling prepared, confident and excited for when I go into labour in a few more weeks. Brandie provided us with a wide set of tools that we could draw on during the labour to deal with a number of different situations, should they arise.

Erin, our instructor. She made the experience really positive and always made sure that as parents of twins we had that perspective. She is AMAZING!

The Ottawa CEA have very informative and helpful classes offered to new or to-be parents. We were able to take both the Prenatal and Bringing Home Baby classes and we would recommend them to any parents. The instructors are very engaging, positive, helpful and experienced. They put our minds at ease. Thank you!

How easy it was to use Zoom. That this was offered as an alternative rather than just cancelling outright. That we didn't have to get up earlier and travel anywhere :)

This class was great! She was so well prepared and had wonderful images and props and ways of explaining things that made learning about giving birth very accessible.

This course is a must for first time parents-to-be. All of my questions about general "baby maintenance" were answered in a friendly, non-judgemental environment. The section of class that goes over the various products available in the baby industry and what you need and don't need for taking care of a baby was very helpful. I feel better prepared for what to expect once labour is over and baby is home.

I knew a little bit of what to expect during the stages of labor(prior reading). But was not as knowledgeable in post natal care. I feel that the two day course really prepared me and gave me all the answers to questions I was unsure of. It was a great resource for my husband as he now has many coping methods to implement for support. And the fact that he won't feel lost or unsure of what's occurring is also great. We really enjoyed our course. Thank you!
