Ask our panel of experts

Our Info centre covers almost all aspects of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. If for some reason you are unable to find an answer to your questions, please feel free to contact our helplines.

You can also use the form below to ask our small panel of trained specialist workers who may be able to help you with your pregnancy, birth and babycare questions by getting you the information you need from the right sources.

Please remember, the panel volunteers their time to help the NCT run this service. They will answer your question as soon as possible, but delays can occur. We appreciate your patience in this matter.
