Recommendations for learning baby skills

[KatoNg]

Apologies if this is not the place, but I was wondering if someone can recommend a place where I could learn how to look after a baby. I haven't a baby myself, but I'm in a situation whereby I really need to know these skills. It's a complicated family situation, but any ideas on how some sort of ante-natal type class for people who aren't parents would be helpful.

Thanks.

www.mynannynetwork.co.uk They do short courses not just for nannies.

they do a one day course.

tbh our antenatal class didn't teach us anything re actual baby care.

some good stuff from th DOH here though - this is the book that all first-time mothers in England are given by their midwife. Check out chapter 8 for making up bottles and feeding, annd chapter 16 for nappies, baths etc.

Get in touch with your local health visitor (phone your GPs, they'll have the number) they should be able to give you info on local groups/courses
