Confident & Calm: Baby & Infant Emergency Know-How
Because googling in an emergency isn’t a plan.
Because googling in an emergency isn’t a plan.
“What would I actually do if my baby was choking?”
“How do I know when to call 111… or when to just trust my gut?”
“Would I freeze, or would I know what to do?”
If you’ve ever had thoughts like these—you’re not alone.
Confident & Calm: Baby & Infant Emergency Know-How is a hands-on, parent-friendly workshop designed to give you practical, real-world skills for when the unexpected happens.
In this relaxed, supportive session, we’ll cover everything from choking and fevers to breathing emergencies, bumps, burns, and more—so you’ll walk away feeling calm, clear, and confident.
No pressure. No judgment. No silly questions.
Whether you’re expecting your first baby, wrangling a curious toddler or refreshing your memory after baby number three, this class is for you.
Because googling in an emergency isn’t a plan.

“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.”
