Olivia's Testimonial
Our Babymoon classes were absolutely invaluable in helping us to prepare for our first baby as though we have nieces and nephews, both my husband and I were clueless first timers when it came down to actually having our own baby. The classes didn't feel like lectures in any way as both Rebecca and Mars have a really easy style to make it fun but you came out afterwards realising that you understood everything. But if you wanted to refer back to it, there were comprehensive handouts covering everything - the contents of which I found more useful than any pregnancy book.

The girls-only breastfeeding class was really informative. Like many first time pregnant mothers, I was rather preoccupied with the birth and so to have a class to fully understand how it works, and how to help the baby get a good latch was hugely helpful and I am still exclusively breastfeeding four months on. I believe that the helpful preparation given in class was instrumental in this. The "labour rehearsal" was not only a great dramatic performance worthy of an Oscar (!) but it also helped us both to feel calm and confident as to what to expect and when we needed to call the hospital and how to make decisions during the labour itself.

I found myself looking forward to Tuesdays and seeing Mars, Rebecca and the other couples, and eating the delicious home-made cake provided. Mars has also been hugely helpful with email advice following the birth, which I wouldn't have got elsewhere so the course really is fantastic value for money.

I would not hesitate to recommend these classes to anyone expecting a baby, first or otherwise.

Jacquie and Mickey's Testimonial
Right from the beginning, Mars and Rebecca set a fun and relaxing atmosphere in which to empower us with the knowledge that we needed for birth and the early months of parenthood. Mars' physical demonstration of childbirth was a gem and had us in stitches of laughter but proved very insightful for us first time mums.

With their shared knowledge, Rebecca and Mars were able to reassure and put our minds at ease with birthing issues.  The Baby Moon reference notes proved invaluable, being used right from the onset of labour and into the first stages of parenthood. Refreshments and Mars lovely cakes, (yum yum), were a treat especially for those of us coming direct from work.

Once again their knowledge and support came into play when we had feeding issues; we were able to contact them and with their help established a new feeding position and feeding routine which immediately saw positive results.

Compared to many other parents-to-be we can truthfully say that we actually enjoyed our ante-natal classes!! Money well spent!

Geraldine and Andrew's Testimonial
TheBabymoon classes were wonderful - a perfect mix of information, advice and at the same time great fun. Mars and Rebecca were great; extremely knowledgeable, practical, reassuring and happy to answer any questions - no matter how foolish - plus there's always fantastic cake! I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking an antenatal class.
