NCT, the UK's leading parenthood charity, has made it even easier for new mums and dads in Dunfermline to share their concerns and find a space on one of their antenatal or postnatal classes by increasing the number of its courses.
The NCT's move is a response to a recent survey highlighting a crisis of confidence many people face when looking after a baby. The latest NCT survey found that, when it came to looking after a newborn baby, one in two parents (47per cent) said the
y did not feel confident.
For this academic year, NCT will be providing a further 600 antenatal and postnatal courses, bringing the total number of courses run to 5,000. The charity has also trained a further 50 specialist teachers, bringing the total number of qualified class teachers to 600.
NCT classes can build confidence and reduce anxieties surrounding birth and becoming a parent. They are also a way to make new friends who understand exactly what each other is going through.
Antenatal classes provide information on pregnancy and options for labour and birth. Early days postnatal classes explore different parenting styles, sleeping and baby feeding.
