Recommend antenatal classes in hackney?

[Cullercoats88]

That's it really.

I'm due 30.01.2015, and really starting to think about doing some classes. My partner and I are childminders, so we have things like first aid, but I know nothing about giving birth, breastfeeding, and practical stuff like bathing new borns.

I've been told local NCT was a waste of money for information, just an expensive way of meeting local parents. Does anyone have any recommendations? Something for me and my OH to both do and learn!

I co-run the Hackney home birth group which is open to all.

Lots of resources for practitioners, classes, doulas etc on our Resources and Links page:

Also there's a Hackney branch of the positive birth movement:

Thank you so much!!
