"If only I'd known about this sooner!"

The two hours of video content and other resources which make up When baby comes home are available to you once you subscribe to The Possums Sleep Program. Below, you can listen to Renee Keogh tell you about When baby comes home in an introductory trailer.

We've heard these words over and over, for many years now, once parents find out about the Possums programs. But you can start thinking about how you want to care for your baby from when you're first expecting your little one!
