Prepare for parenthood
Pregnancy can be a busy time - especially for first time parents. Ensuring you take some time to yourself to find the answers to your burning questions can help you feel ready for welcoming your new arrival.
​
Planning your birth can feel overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start, no matter if you've had 6 children or if this is your first time. We've done the tricky part for you - we have pre-filled birth plan examples, a comprehensive and customisable hospital bag checklist and a free birth plan template for you to print, edit and guide you. Click the link below to grab our complimentary 'Stress-Free Birth Bundle' at the bottom of this page, or browse through our templates below for instant download.

Hospital bag packing, early days and more. Find out the most popular items parents find essential for their birth and newborn journey - and the items that you maybe don't need after all.
Whether you've heard of it or not, the fourth trimester is a time made much smoother when you know what to expect. Read up on navigating this beautiful, emotional and at times, tough season.
Our ethos
Here at Kidhood, we have strong belief that raising children comes with greater ease and peace when a parent embraces biological norms. Understanding normal infant behaviour whilst acknowledging your own feelings as a new parent can absolutely transform the transition into life with a newborn baby.
​
We believe an awareness of each stage in development - biologically, physically and mentally for both mother and baby - is absolutely essential to your journey. Too often we hear of mothers being misled by opinions spoken as fact, or outdated guidance from (albeit often well-meaning) relatives and friends. That's why we are building a community based purely on evidence-based information. Our resources and articles are accessible, simple and affordable for all - our growing library of FREE resources is designed to support, inform and empower new parents.
Empowering parents
With information and resources curated by experienced parents and trained infant feeding support volunteers, you can rest easy with the knowledge you need for a smoother journey, whatever choices you decide to make.
