Our story

Throughout my pregnancy I spent every free minute I had looking up everything there possibly was to know about birth and babies.

But in the first days of being a new mom, I was confronted with so many contradicting opinions from midwives, pediatricians and well-meaning friends & family, that I just didn’t know who to listen to anymore.

Turns out I wasn’t as well prepared as I thought I was, despite the endless hours I’d spent searching online.
I felt there had to be a better way to prepare ourselves for parenthood.

A way that would give us the confidence to listen to ourselves first, and provide us with the necessary knowledge to make the best decisions for ourselves and our babies.

And so The Parenting Essentials Toolkit was born.

And with it, our mission to improve the lives of new parents around the world.

What we believe

Nobody knows your baby better than you do

There is such a thing as parental instinct, but we often dismiss it because we think we’re less competent than the ‘experts’ in the room.

We’re here to provide you with the tools and knowledge that will give you the confidence to listen to yourself and your instincts.

Because when it comes to your baby, YOU are the expert.

New parents deserve to feel empowered & supported

Parenting is not an exact science, we all have different beliefs, experiences, situations and aspirations.

As a brand new parent you should feel supported and empowered when making decisions that impact your own and your child’s wellbeing.

We’re here to help you make informed decisions that feel right for you & your family.

Together we can make a real difference

By providing parents-to-be with the necessary knowledge and support from day 1, we can improve gender equality, reduce perinatal mental health issues, reduce birth trauma, improve breastfeeding success rates and even save lives.

We’re here to guide you through the challenges of early parenthood.
