Postnatal Course - 6week Social - Mum and Baby Course

The Baby Course – A Gentle, Supportive Start for New Mums in Hertfordshire

Becoming a mum is life‑changing. It’s beautiful, overwhelming, emotional, joyful, and exhausting – often all in the same day. While so much focus is placed on caring for your newborn, many mums quietly wonder: Who is looking after me?

That’s exactly why 6week Social’s Baby Course exists. Designed for mums with babies in their early months, our postnatal course creates a warm, welcoming space where you are just as important as your baby.

Why Join a Postnatal Course Like 6week Social?

The weeks after birth can feel isolating, especially once visitors slow down and your partner returns to work. A postnatal course gives you:

• Connection with other mums who are in the same stage of life

• Routine and something to look forward to each week

• Emotional support during a vulnerable transition

• Time and space to focus on your own wellbeing, not just your baby’s

At 6week Social, we believe that when mums feel supported, heard, and cared for, everything else feels more manageable.

What Makes Our Baby Course Different?

Unlike more traditional antenatal or postnatal groups, our Baby Course is not about ticking boxes or information overload. It’s about real life motherhood.

Each week blends:

• Gentle baby‑focused activities (that you can enjoy without pressure)

• Open, honest conversations about motherhood

• Practical tools to support mental health, confidence, and self‑care

• Time to build genuine friendships

There’s no need to “have it all together” here. Babies cry. Mums cry. And that’s okay.

How We Differ from NCT or Antenatal Courses

Courses like NCT or antenatal classes are brilliant for preparing you before birth – but once your baby arrives, many mums are left craving ongoing support.

6week Social is different because:

• We focus on the mum as much as the baby

• Our groups are smaller and intentionally supportive

• There’s no comparison culture or pressure

• The emphasis is on wellbeing, confidence, and connection, not just baby milestones

This isn’t a classroom. It’s a community.

Local Support for Local Mums

Our Baby Course is perfect for mums based in Harpenden, Berkhamsted, Hitchin, Hertford, and surrounding Hertfordshire areas. Many of our mums arrive not knowing anyone – and leave with friendships that last far beyond the six weeks.

If you’re on maternity leave, feeling a little lost, or simply craving adult conversation with people who get it, this course is for you.

You don’t have to do motherhood alone.
