What is the NCT?

 

 

In awe at how much your life has changed since having your baby? Rest assured you’re not the only one! These exercise and discussion classes give you the opportunity to explore different approaches to important parenting issues with a qualified group leader and other new parents in your area. They are designed to help you feel confident about the decisions and choices that you make for your baby. You will be encouraged to share ideas and experiences and help others to do the same so that you can support each other as you learn more about your skills as a parent.

Our postnatal leaders undergo a thorough training with the NCT although they are not required to be medically qualified. All leaders are expected to keep up to date with the latest developments in maternity care and must register with us every year. Their role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents make informed choices for themselves and their babies. They do not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their midwife, health visitor or doctor.
