Our Sessions

Labour & Birth Preparation

At Bump, Baby and Beyond Yorkshire, we believe that every birthing journey is unique, and we’re here to help you prepare with confidence. Our tailored labour and birth preparation courses cover aromatherapy, hypnobirthing, active birthing techniques, coping with the unexpected, pain relief, bag packing, being a supportive partner, and birth options and preferences. We’re all about giving you real, no-nonsense practical tips that you can use right away, ensuring you feel ready, informed, and supported. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, manage pain, or simply feel more in control and know your options, we’re here to help you get the most out of your journey to birth.

Practical Parenting

Our Practical Parenting sessions at Bump, Baby and Beyond Yorkshire are designed to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge you need for the first few days and weeks. This session covers the essentials such as dressing, bathing, nappy changing and safe sleeping, to realistic advice on how to cope with a new-born. We also delve into your emotional and physical health, helping you both navigate the challenges of new parenthood, offering advice on how to build and lean on your support networks, so you never feel alone during this exciting but sometimes overwhelming time. Our goal is to give you the tools to feel fully prepared to care for your newborn with confidence.

Infant Feeding

Session 3 offers practical guidance to help you get feeding off to the best start. You’ll learn to recognise feeding cues and ensure your baby is getting enough, whether breastfeeding, expressing, mixed feeding, or using formula. We cover colostrum collecting, breastfeeding techniques, expressing and storing milk, sterilising equipment, and preparing formula feeds. Plus, we provide advice on where to get support both in hospital and at home. This session also covers soothing techniques like baby massage, white noise, and keeping baby close. We’ll discuss tag-teaming with your partner to support each other and get some rest. We aim to boost your confidence with infant feeding and comforting your baby so you can enjoy those early days..
