This complete course is taught by midwives experts in prenatal and postnatal care so you will learn up to date information and techniques for labour, recovery and first weeks when your baby comes, feedings, nappy changes, working with your body on a safe, respectful and effective way, as well as getting to know how local maternity systems work in Madrid.
