Prepare for Baby Workshop
During Pregnancy there are many classes and courses to help you prepare for the birth but not what to do with the baby when you get it home!
Lucinda’s Prepare for Baby Workshop not only covers what you need and where to get it but also gives you realistic expectations of the early days, weeks and months with a new baby (or more if you’re a proud parent of multiples) and how to survive them!
As an experienced high profile international Maternity Nurse with a background of Psychology and Child Development there really isn’t anything Lucinda doesn’t know about babies and she is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with parents to be.
Although covering some very important topics Lucinda likes the workshops to be fun and relaxed, no question is a stupid question (and the dads always ask the best questions!) Lucinda has no agenda or preference in how you raise your baby but she does believe in informed choice so will teach you:
Every feeding method including how, when and how much to feed a baby,
How to wash and sterilise bottles and breastfeeding equipment,
How to bath a baby,
How to swaddle,
How to change a nappy and dress a baby in the most effective way,
The best winding techniques to avoid the dreaded colic!
How to gently start a gentle feeding and sleeping routine.
The emotional rollercoaster that new parents face and how to manage the changes in your relationship once your baby is here.
You get to ask Lucinda as many questions as you need to during your time. Due to Covid-19 Lucinda is able to do these workshops remotely although in person with a group of parents to be is usually the most fun (and the dads/birthing partners can have a drink!)
Pricing
The workshops generally last about 3 hours and cost £100 per couple.
Virtual Coaching
Thanks to modern technology Lucinda is able to support and empower parents without having to meet in person, this is particularly helpful and effective for first time parents with a newborn. Some parents need some trouble shooting for a parenting issue that they feel they need help with, such as how to set a routine for their baby or how to deal with a toddler’s tantrums, some parents are looking for step by step instructions, some are looking for education and advice and some parents just need a cheerleader and someone to talk to. Lucinda is able to provide all of these things due to her background in psychology, her counseling qualifications and her childcare experience which is why she is Your Parenting Coach. The virtual coaching begins with a consultation where you discuss how you would like Lucinda to help you this is usually a video call followed by a week of whatsapp support where Lucinda will answer any questions you have and continue to advise you. Once this package is complete you can then pay as you go purchasing daily whatsapp support or video/phone calls.
Pricing
Initial package including a video call consultation and 1 week of whatsapp support £150
Video/phone calls £45
Whatsapp support £15 per day
In-home Coaching and Sleeptraining
In-home coaching and sleeptraining is exactly that, Lucinda comes to your home and provides hands on face to face coaching. Whether you need some help in setting a routine for your baby or how to manage your toddler’s temper tantrums, Lucinda can come to your home where she will teach you her techniques and you can watch her methods in person. Unfortunately the term ‘sleep-training’ has a very negative reputation please be assured Lucinda does not believe in letting your child ‘cry it out’ and firmly believes that a parent should respond to their child in order to help that child feel safe and secure. Lucinda will teach you about your child and the non-verbal language they use, she will teach you a variety of methods that will enable you to respond to your child whilst also helping them learn how to go to sleep by themselves, peacefully. Parents need to teach their children to sleep in the same way you teach them how to walk, talk, count and use a spoon – and if you always do it for them then they never get the opportunity to learn for themselves. Lucinda does not have a ‘one size fits all’ sleeptraining package, she uses her psychology background and childcare experience to create a method that fits the personal needs of the family whilst always paying attention to the science of sleep! And yes sleep is a science, it’s a biological necessity! For any in-home coaching or sleeptraining Lucinda’s goal is to teach you what she knows and how to do the things that she does so that you have all the knowledge and tools you need to parent in the most effective way possible.
Pricing
Lucinda charges £350 per day (plus travel) for her in-home packages and her sleep-training package is a 3 day minimum package costing £1050, however her follow-up whatsapp support is included in this price and ongoing.
