Everyone has advice

Know your options, and find what works for your baby

When you have a baby, everyone has advice.

Most of it is what worked for their baby. And your baby might be different.

Beyond Birth: Your Postpartum Blueprint shows you your options for

  • Feeding
  • Sleep
  • Settling
  • Postpartum recovery

It explains each one, so you can choose what fits your family. If the first thing doesn't work, you know what to try next.

That's why it's called The Baby Method. Because it's your method.

Inside the course

Preparation for the moments nobody warns you about

Beyond Birth shows you your options for moments like these, so you can choose what works for your baby.

  1. Day 1

    The drive home

    You've bought the car seat. You'll learn what your baby should wear in it, and why it helps to practise fitting it first.

    A slide from the course on the car seat: no bulky clothes, a blanket over the lap, practise fitting it
  2. Night 1

    The first night home

    Your baby is crying and you're not sure why. You'll learn the cues babies use to show they're hungry, tired or uncomfortable.

  3. The first week

    Feeding feels hard

    Breast, bottle or both. You'll see what each one involves, so you can choose what suits you and know what to try next.

  4. The first week

    “Is this normal?”

    Grunting, sneezing, short pauses in their breathing. You'll learn what's normal, and when to call your midwife, GP, 111 or 999.

  5. The first six weeks

    You're healing too

    Your body needs time after the birth. You'll learn what to expect in the first days and weeks, and how to look after yourself.

  6. Every night

    Who gets up tonight?

    Broken sleep adds up fast. You'll learn how to share the nights with your partner, and small ways to make the tired days easier.

Meet Lottie

I'm Lottie, the founder of The Baby Method. I'm a qualified antenatal teacher, accredited by FEDANT.

Most antenatal classes stop at the birth. This course starts there.

When you know your options, you can keep trying until you find what works for your baby.

Watch it before your baby arrives. Once they're here, there's very little time to sit down and learn.

Questions

Straight away. You get access the moment you buy, and you log in with the email you used at checkout.

It's a great time to start. You can learn before your baby arrives, then come back to each part when you need it.

There is such good information out there, but the challenge often comes with knowing what to search for. As a first-time parent, it can be hard to know what to even look for in the first place. In this course, I've brought everything together in the order you'll likely need it. I explain the different options, why you might need them, and help you decide which one to choose.

Antenatal classes are a brilliant way to prepare for your baby's arrival, and a lot of them do cover newborn care and recovery after birth. But with so much to fit into a limited number of sessions, there's only so much detail they can go into. That's why I've dedicated a whole course to the first three months, from understanding your baby to how to look after yourself. And because it's online, you can come back to the lessons whenever you need a refresher.

No. Each lesson covers one topic, and most lessons are around 15 minutes long. So take what you need, when you need it.

£150, or 3 monthly payments of £50. You get lifetime access, every future update free, and 30 days to try it with the Feel Ready Guarantee.

For life. And every future update is free.

Yes. You can watch it together, from the comfort of your own home.

Yes. It works on your phone, tablet or laptop, so you can watch wherever suits you.

No. The course is here to teach you and help you feel ready. It shows you when to call your midwife, health visitor, GP, 111 or 999.
