“With the arrival of my third child quite a few years after my first two, I was keen to do a first aid course refresher. I had heard great things about Mother & Child and enrolled in a course. It was absolutely fantastic. It provided a great overview of all the potential hazards for babies, toddlers and children. It also shared practical tips for how to deal with emergency situations. I cannot recommend Mother & Child highly enough - very professional, friendly and supportive. Thank you! ”
“Just wanted to thank the Childbirth educator & Midwife from Mother & Child for all the information and reassurance she gave me and my husband during the Childbirth Preparation prenatal classes. We certainly are a lot more at ease and looking forward to our little one arriving in less than a month’s time! M&C covered a lot of areas (that sometimes the gynae didnt) and answered the questions we had. Definitely recommend all soon to be parents to consider joining these Childbirth Preparation classes!”
