"I felt as though from start to finish the course provided useful, current and informative insights that helped me feel more prepared for everything to come! There was so much useful information my husband and I have been discussing since the course from how he can help during delivery to infant care and even infant behaviours that are normal in the first few months. I was rest assured that there are many supports in Brandon I had no idea about, for example in terms of breastfeeding. We were very glad we signed up for this course, it was so worth it! Thank you!
