Headline Sponsors ~
For Milton Keynes 2012 we are delighted to welcome DaddyNatal and BabyNatal as Exclusive BabyExpo Baby Show Headline Sponsors. 
Practical, memorable and enjoyable antenatal education for men, by men. DaddyNatal was created by Dean Beaumont in response to his experiences becoming a father for the first time.
"I felt I was prepared for the birth of my son, had read the books and been to the childbirth classes, but after the birth of my son, I realised I had not been prepared, and felt I had let my partner down. What I realised is that childbirth education is tailored to women, and actually, that there was very little information for men, tailored for men, as they prepare for their role in birth and beyond. The birth partner has a massive influence on labour, and can affect how long it lasts, how painful it is, and whether interventions are needed or used."
Founder, Dean Beaumont has appeared on BBC News, 'The One Show', Channel 5's 'The Wright Stuff and throughout the parenting and national press. In 2011 Practical Parenting described DaddyNatal as 'One of the best antenatal class options available' and Dean was described by The Daily Mail as an 'Antenatal Pioneer'.
Dean will be speaking at the show, offering advice and Top Tips for new Dads and Dads-to-Be! Visit DaddyNatal on stand 161. DaddyNatal was created to support Dads to be the best birth partners they can be, and to be the best dads that they can be. They recognise becoming a dad starts before birth, and continues for life, and so offer both DaddyNatal antenatal classes (for men only) and New Dads classes (for Dads & Baby only) for when baby has arrived!
DaddyNatal training is also available - email dean@daddynatal.co.uk for more
A BabyNatal class is all about preparing for the day when you first hold your baby in your arms. BabyNatal classes introduce you to the basics of baby care- you will learn lots of practical skills in regards to caring for your baby, from dressing to bathing, from winding holds to colic calming, from playtime to sleep time, we cover all the practical aspects to allow you to feel confident as a parent.
BabyNatal introduces you to the concept of the 'Fourth Trimester' and explores ways that you can help your baby adjust from the womb to the big world, through consideration of those first few minutes and hours following birth.
Our workshops are fully supported by DaddyNatal - our partner pioneering and award-winning organization which is doing fantastic work with dads, no dad will leave a BabyNatal class feeling like a spare part!
Our teachers are friendly and professionally trained. All our teachers are accredited by UK antenatal regulator FEDANT.
