Being together, my baby and me is a free online three-week programme especially designed for families with babies.

This online programme, funded by the Department for Education, combines advice on baby’s learning and development with post-natal support for new parents.

There are three sessions, each one an hour long, looking at a different topic with lots of opportunities to share and learn as we discuss our thoughts and chat about our experiences together.

One session will be delivered per week, for three weeks in total.

Thursday 28 August, 4 & 11 September

2pm - 3pm

Topics covered include:

baby brain development and sensory play
early language and communication
positive mental health — especially by being outdoors (for parents/carers and babies)
keeping your baby safe
the importance of play

Each programme is held virtually on Zoom. Please don't worry - we know that babies don't always follow a timetable, so the sessions are very relaxed and informal, giving everyone a chance to see and talk to others in a similar situation to themselves.

There will also be a chance to share your experiences and get to know other families with new babies.

Our family learning sessions are aimed at families, however we do make educators and other professionals welcome. We have promotional assets you can use to share our information with your own client base/families. For more information get in touch - emma.may@eyalliance.org.uk
