THE TRIO
The Trio is just that - all three of the antenatal, labour and postnatal courses in one! This bundle is the one for you if you just have to know it all. It combines the Bump and Birth and Birth and Baby bundles, so you'll get access to all the above course content, with the Nesting Kit still included. It's the most cost effective way to make the most of your antenatal education.
THE COMPLETE SET
The Complete Set bundle contains everything you need to know about pregnancy, birth, recovery, caring for your baby and breastfeeding in those initial few weeks after your baby is born. This bundle includes everything you get in The Trio PLUS you get Simply The Breast - a whole course dedicated to breastfeeding and how to manage potential challenges in those first few weeks. You also get a handy infant breastfeeding guide, a 22 page comprehensive handbook with extra breastfeeding information and advice.
SIMPLY THE BREAST
If you're looking for honest and practical breastfeeding tips and advice, but don't need access to all the antenatal materials on offer in the other bundles, then look no further. Simply The Breast is your breastfeeding specific course with topics including:
- how to latch your baby

NO PLACE LIKE HOME (BIRTH)
No Place Like Home (Birth) is the guide for you if you're either considering home birth but want to know more, or if you've decided home birth is for you and you want to feel completely prepared. This guide includes the benefits of home births, considerations if you're thinking about home birth, pain relief options and much more! If you think home birth is right for you, or if you're just intrigued and want to know more, this guide is the one for you!
SIMPLY THE BREAST
(Guide only)
This 22 page breastfeeding guide will be your go-to for questions about all things breastfeeding. It covers everything from why we recommend breastfeeding, to latching your baby and knowing how your baby is getting enough. You get this guide for free with either The Complete Set bundle or the Simply the Breast course, but I know sometimes all you need is that reassurance at 3am when feeding is feeling a challenge, and the Simply the Breast guide will provide you with that!
