New Mum and Baby Safety & Wellbeing Course

Next course Saturday 9th January 2027 from 9:00am – 11:30am at Cardiff Central Library

The course combines new-mum wellbeing and self-care with infant and child first aid, giving you the opportunity to learn in a friendly, supportive and practical environment. The course content is approved from the level 3 award of  FAA Paediatric first aid training  and the Mental health first aid training FAA awarded  courses.

Your wellbeing matters too.

The early months after having a baby can be demanding, and it is important to recognise when you may need additional support. During the course, we will explore:

Our aim is to encourage new mums to prioritise their own wellbeing while caring for their little ones.

This course is about more than first aid. It is about helping you feel prepared, informed and supported as you begin your journey through motherhood.

You will have the opportunity to learn practical skills, ask questions and build confidence in a welcoming environment.

✔ Recognising an emergency
✔ Responding to a choking baby or child

🌷 Looking After Baby Starts With Looking After You

The first months with a new baby can be wonderful, exhausting, emotional and sometimes overwhelming, often all at the same time.

Learning first aid can give you confidence when your baby needs you most. Learning about your own wellbeing can help you recognise when you need care and support too.

Our New Mum and Baby Safety & Wellbeing Course brings these two important areas together in one practical and supportive session.
