About this webinar

Welcome to one of the most important jobs you’ll ever do – caring for your new baby. It’s good to learn as much as you can about what’s ahead.

You’ll probably have lots of questions about the early months of your baby’s life. You might find that things are different from what you expected or that there are situations you’re not prepared for. With support and reliable information, you can navigate any challenges and give your baby a great start in life.

We’re here to help. In this webinar, we’ll explain:

  • how to prepare for the unexpected – for example, what phone numbers to save in your phone and what to keep in the medicine cupboard
  • how to handle new or unfamiliar situations – for example, what to do if you think your baby isn’t well
  • where to get reliable advice and information – for example, from websites, helplines and people you trust
  • how being a new parent can affect you and why it’s important to ask for help.

This webinar is suitable for expectant parents and parents with babies aged 0-3 months.

In the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, share experiences, and hear other parents’ experiences and ideas.

Please note - this webinar will be presented live by Yasna Blandin de Chalain, however, the information she’ll be covering is the same as the June 2020 webinar.

Yasna has worked in maternal and child health for 22 years. She’s a midwife and lactation consultant and has spent 11 years on the Victorian Maternal and Child Health Helpline. She also has a master’s degree in counselling and psychotherapy.
