Private Prenatal Classes in the Familiarity of Your Home Environment
Antenatal classes are a great way for expecting parents to learn what to expect regarding the upcoming birth process, breastfeeding and baby care. Every family has different preferences and so we believe every family would prefer to spend their precious time focusing on learning what is more relevant for their lifestyle and preferences. The most valuable part of prenatal classes also tend to be confidence-building through hands-on practice on handling the baby. This requires 1-on-1 attention from the instructor, which group classes tend not to be able to provide.
Types of Private Prenatal Classes
We offer 3 types of One-day Private Prenatal Classes:
- Basic Classes are best suited for parents expecting their first child, when in the 2nd trimester so that you can learn more about what you will need to prepare before baby is born.
- Advanced Classes are best suited for parents expecting their first child, after the 30th week of pregnancy so that you can get hands-on practice for when the baby is born.
- Experienced Classes are best suited for parents who want refreshers on how to care for a newborn and/or managing multiple kids.

Why Consider Private Prenatal Classes?
Save Time and Money
Most group prenatal classes require you to spend 6-8 hours (sometimes requiring commitment on specific time slots over 3-4 weeks) where the bulk of the time is spent covering theory and descriptions on the topics covered in the class. Baby Planner SG will share the materials covering the theory and descriptions on the topics prior to the session(s) and spend the 1-on-1 session time with you elaborating on the areas you would like to learn more about. More time within the sessions can also then be devoted to the practical aspects on handing the baby to build confidence. It is often also during the hands-on activities where more questions arise. You can hence have full control the number of and duration of the sessions, and pay only for the time our Baby Planning Consultant spends with you.
Build Confidence with Hands-on Learning
Baby Planner SG will bring a newborn-sized baby doll and can either use items which you have already bought, or bring other items you have not yet bought for the private classes. This provides hands-on experience for you to try using baby items you had never tried using before and get instant feedback on the best ways of handling the items. It builds your confidence and helps you visualise the actual situations when breastfeeding, preparing baby bottles, changing the baby’s diaper and swaddling the baby bent over a cot/bed, bathing the baby, etc. During the lessons, you will role-play some typical scenarios to help you prepare for life when baby is home with you. We believe it is also helpful for you to discover better ways to arrange the furniture in their house or determine what baby items you need to purchase.
Enjoy Privacy Learning about Breastfeeding
Group antenatal classes are only able to provide theoretical education about breastfeeding and pumping, but it is hard to understand how breastfeeding positions actually feel when you are doing so at home with your baby. Every breastpump is also different and trying to figure fittings based off pictures can be challenging or confusing. Private prenatal classes, on the other hand, can allow you test all the breastfeeding hold positions on your sofa or bed so you can figure out what kinds of pillows/tables you might need nearby. If you so wish, our Baby Planning Consultant can also provide practical feedback on how to use your pump correctly during the session(s), or how to feel whether you have developed clogged ducts or perform manual hand expression of milk.
Had a session this afternoon with Baby Planner SG at the comfort of our own home and learned a lot just in two hours as first time parents to be! It’s like a customised antenatal class (or I would also call it private tuition on breastfeeding & baby care) where we were able to learn how to take care of our newborn within our own home environment - we are still currently living with my in-laws where there are some space constraints so the tips on how to work around the limited space when baby arrives were really useful. We also received practical advice on what preparation is needed and what was not really necessary. Appreciate the generous and informative sharing!
Thank you Yiling for the private session at our place. The session was very informative and helpful for first time parents like us. We started off with theory then move on the hands-on part, which was really practical as we get to learn how to swaddle, changing diaper and bathe the baby. She also looked into the set up of our baby room and gave practical suggestions on how we can make it better. Both my husband and I have benefited from the session!
My wife and I absolutely appreciated our first Baby Planner session with Yi Ling, the private basic prenatal class. As first time parents, we both found the class materials and discussion on labour, breastfeeding, and baby care really helpful. The fun part is especially the hands-on practical aspect of baby care, just as preparing a swaddle, changing diapers, and showering a newborn. Having this all done in our home and baby room makes this experience all the more helpful, because she could look at our existing setup, give us plenty of considerations about the baby room and toilet before things were set, and helped us better visualise how things would actually be done once baby arrives. We had our helper attend this useful class as well so we could all be on the same page when taking care of baby. We also loved that Yi Ling was so accommodating to our many questions during the session, and outside the session as well. Having a Baby Planner’s expertise just a WhatsApp message away gives us so much assurance too! We are looking forward to our next session soon too, the private advanced perinatal class. Thank you once again, Baby Planner! 
The consultant was thorough and well-organised with pre-reading ahead of the session. She took time to explain in great detail anything and everything and she's very passionate and reassuring. She didn't mind us interrupting her with our questions and did not force her way on us; she was objective so we are now able to make our own informed decisions. She genuinely wanted to provide a good service and has a lot of knowledge on different brands and things we needed as well as clearly having a lot of experience. Overall, we would heartily recommend her as we got more out of one session with her than a traditional prenatal class over 4 weekends.
We had our private prenatal class with Yi Ling in Dec. She was very warm, open and friendly when I reached out to her, unlike other places that scolded me for asking for a class so late into my pregnancy! The session was very informative and useful for my husband and me. Luckily she coached us on alot of stuff, 'cos the hospital's way of teaching how to swaddle and bathe baby is through watching videos! lol
My wife and I attended the basic class, and that was sufficient to give us a great introduction to caring for the baby. Yiling was patient, understanding and thorough, and we greatly enjoyed the class! She came down to our house to conduct the class and to give us personalized tips as well, which was really helpful.
