Baby & Infant Emergency Know-How Workshop
Because googling in an emergency isn’t a plan.
“What would I actually do if my baby was choking?”
“What happens if I call 111?”
“Would I freeze, or would I know what to do if something happened?”
If you’ve ever had thoughts like these, you’re not alone.
Baby & Infant Emergency Know-How is a practical, parent-friendly workshop designed to help you understand what to do when something isn’t right.
Together, we’ll work through choking, breathing emergencies, fevers and seizures, bumps, burns, allergic reactions and more. We’ll talk about what to look for, when to get help and the practical steps you can take while help is on the way.
There’s no pressure to already know what you’re doing, and no question is a silly one. This is a relaxed space to learn, ask questions and build the knowledge you can draw on if you ever need it.
Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, already have a curious little one on the move, or simply want to refresh what you know, you’re very welcome.

“An amazing course that gave us peace of mind that we now have some idea of what we are doing if anything happens when our baby arrives.”
“We loved the fact that this course was ‘hands on’. We learnt so much and had all our questions answered. We highly recommend this to all parents in Hawke’s Bay. Thanks Janine, it helped calm some of our worries.”
