Hi

We are expecting our first baby in March, I wanted to know if there are any classes available that deal with infant care, breastfeeding, getting ready for baby etc. Although I work with babies and both of us are feeling pretty comfortable with the thought of having a little one around I am sure there are always things that you can find valuable at these classes. As we will probably be having a c-section we don't need the labour part of most of the courses on offer, when is the best time to start the classes.

Thanks

Hi there,

Think there are a lot of pre-natal classes in all the private hospitals in town. I did attend the one in Canossa Hospital (Old Peak Road) years ago. It was quite good especially the last class was held by Dr Alfred Tam who is one of the top paediatricians in HK.

Cheers,
Fafa

Angie,

Sorry I missed this msg. All the hospitals, the YWCA, Annerley Midwives all offer classes. Or you can arrange for a mid-wife or Health Care visitor like Yvonne Heavyside to help with baby when you're back home.
