We really enjoyed the holistic approach, it made us feel very comfortable. Doing this course has taken away the fear of being a new parent and helped us to feel like everything is going to be OK. We can do this.
We offer classes to expectant parents that encompass a holistic, research based approach about postnatal care. Each of our classes are led by our founder, Philippa Murphy. Philippa has a postnatal clinic in North Canterbury called BabyCues, where she helps newborns and parents worldwide. A pioneer in her field, she is a postnatal practitioner, educator and author with a background in Child Development and Psychology. Philippa is also a mother herself of a vivacious three year old and with a career spanning twenty-four years, she has worked with hundreds of parents and newborns.
We hold evening classes each week that run for an hour-and-a-half, for six consecutive weeks starting at the beginning of each school term for Rangiora and half way through the term for Christchurch. Course capacity is eight couples, or single parents per course in Rangiora and twelve couples, or single parents in Christchurch. The minimum attendees for each course to go ahead is four couples.
Parents get the pleasure of devouring a delectable pudding at each session, they receive a free copy of the bestselling book ‘BabyCues, Prevent and Remedy Colic, Reflux, Lactose and Dairy Overload, Nature’s Logical Answers,’ along with The Pudding Clubs Shopping and Information Guide. Parents also receive free, helpful baby equipment like NUK pacifiers, water wipes, tui balm nappy cream, coffee vouchers, Health 2000 discounts and more.
Feedback from previous attenders of The Pudding Club Classes say this course is worth $150 to $200, but you get all this for $15.00 a night per couple - $90.00 for the entire course.
