Baby First Aid courses

[nylonmeals]

A couple of friends have mentioned that they and partners did baby first aid courses before the arrival of their first child. Just wondered if anyone had done any or knew of any course round ED area? Thank you!

Hi,

I know Verona Hall, independent midwife used to run baby first aid upstairs in the therapy rooms of Healthmatters on Lordship Lane www.veronahall.co.uk

I'll second the recommendation for Verona's course, I did this when my daughter was a week old.

I'm sure there has been a thread on here before about this.

I think if you contact St John's Ambulance they will do a course either free or for a very reasonable rate provided you get a group of people together.

I may have this completely wrong...but will go off and see if I can find the thread.

OK...found this;

London Ambulance Service come to your home for free if you get 6 people together. It is only a short basic introduction though, about an hour in length. We did it last weekend and found it good, covered resusitation and chocking, with lots of baby mankins to practice on (which my boy thought were great fun!).

I don't have the number, but it should be on their website.

...and this thread has some other options too;
