Practical Parenting Workshops for Expecting Mums & Parents in Zurich
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Your due date is fast approaching, and now is the perfect time to calmly prepare for life with your newborn—
so you can enter this next chapter feeling confident, empowered, and ready.
The first 3 months after birth, is a time of adjustment, discovery, and deep bonding. The more you know about your newborn and adapting to life as a family—the more you can navigate those first weeks with ease and joy.
Because when you know what to expect, you can embrace the journey with confidence.
Are you ready to start your parenting journey feeling prepared, supported, and excited for the adventure ahead?
Did you know: preparing to give birth is only the beginning?
The real adventure starts when baby arrives! Are you ready for it?
Like so many first-time mums, I was so focused on pregnancy and birth that I didn’t fully prepare for what came next—bringing my baby home.
I remember standing over my newborn, staring at her tiny face, thinking:
“What do I do with you now?”
I thought the hard part was over… but those first days and weeks?
A total whirlwind of exhaustion, love, and so many questions:
-
Why won’t my baby sleep?
-
How do I know if they’re getting enough milk?
-
Why am I still crying when everything is “fine”?!
It was overwhelming. And I wish I had known then what I know now....
Your journey can be different.
You can feel more confident, prepared, and empowered as a new parent.
That’s exactly why we created BABY 101: The 4th Trimester Workshop
—so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
What will we cover?
Together, we will learn about:
✅ Feeding (breastfeeding & bottle-feeding basics)
✅ Sleeping (what to expect and how to set up healthy sleep habits)
✅ Changing (diapering and hygiene tips)
✅ Bathing (safe and stress-free baby bathing)
✅ Soothing (how to calm and comfort your newborn)
✅ Handling & holding (safe ways to carry and support baby)
✅ Understanding reflexes and "the witching hour"
✅ Setting up your home to welcome baby
✅ Essentials you’ll need for the start
✅ What to expect from midwife visits after birth
More than just a workshop…
Not only will we dive deep into 4th trimester essentials, but you'll also have the opportunity to connect with other expecting parents. Building a network of mums & dads expecting at the same time as you is an incredible support system! ❤️
What parents are saying:
"We really loved the workshop and learned a lot. I love the fact that certain tips were given with reference to biology/human nature, so it’s easier to understand why we need to care for a baby in a certain way. I would totally recommend your course to everyone. Big compliment:)
– Paulina
"We would 100% recommend the workshop especially to other parents to be, who are also new to the game and don’t have too many baby’s in the family/ friends circle yet. We will spread the word and look out for more courses!!"
– Nadja
For my husband the whole concept of „fourth trimester“ was even new and did provide him lots of insights. Furthermore, I loved the structure of the course and how you walked us through the „daily routine“ (if you can call like this). Small little practical Tips on how to wash, which equipment to use for diaper change, which toys to use for a newborn etc were very helpful. - as you can tell newbies to the baby topic!
- Nadja
Such a great workshp - a really good place to start: great group, trainer, facility. And very good to have received documentation along with it.

"Definitely!!! It is the best course to take away the anxiety away of “I never had a baby in my arms and now I am a parent, what should I do?!”. I will be the one telling everyone about the course - for sure!
