The Royal Berkshire NHS Trust are pleased to offer you free antenatal parent education and infant feeding sessions in partnership with NCT, the UK's largest charity for parents.

Parents on an online antenatal course

NCT's Preparation for Birth and Beyond antenatal education programme will be provided between 28 - 36 weeks of your pregnancy.

The free 6-hour interactive online course aims to prepare you for the birth of your baby and the early days of parenting. It will consist of at least 4 hours of interactive learning via Zoom and a further enhanced support via WhatsApp. You'll feel more confident about making the right decisions when caring for your new baby and looking after your own health and wellbeing. At the same time, you can meet others going through the same life change and form a support group.

All courses are held online on Zoom and you will be offered a place depending on your location, due date and course availability.

We are pleased to confirm all parents to be are being offered the chance to attend an antenatal Infant Feeding session, to be attended between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy.

To book on your Preparation for Birth and Beyond course or your antenatal Infant Feeding session, complete the online form. Your course details will be sent within a week.
