After a number of friends recommended the ante-natal classes and midwife visits arranged by the Annerley I booked a package, and 6 weeks after our daughter arrived, I look back and think how glad I am that I followed their advice!  The classes were useful at preparing for the birth, and a good opportunity to get to know some other mums to be and the team at the Annerley.  Sofie took one of our classes and I requested her for our home visits.  She was an absolute star!  She provided practical advice on everything from breast feeding positions, expressing, burping, sleeping etc for our daughter, and also helpful tips for mum such as exercises to help with recovery from the birth.  I really looked forward to Sofie's visits, and in-between she was only too happy to respond to questions.  Sofie was a tremendous support and her guidance really helped me through the first few weeks.
