A gentle mama and baby relaxation group
The early weeks recovering from giving birth and getting to know your new tiny human can feel pretty overwhelming. At this small group session, led by a baby massage and women's yoga instructor, you will learn some techniques to help your baby adjust from the womb to the world and to help you ride the emotional rollercoaster of adjusting to motherhood.
It's also a nice way to start connecting with other parents in a small group, if going to a big social group alone is feeling a bit daunting right now.
Come as you are, no expectations or judgement, feed/change/comfort babies as needed, and hopefully leave feeling a little lighter.
FAQs
What age is this for?
This group is best suited the fourth trimester, but we aren't super strict. If you feel this is what you need right now, older non-mobile babies welcome too.
When is it held?
Weekly during term time at 11am.
Where is it?
At the GWP Southern Community Centre, in room 2 to the right of the entrance foyer.
The group activity is followed by a cuppa and cake and time to chat, and you can then head over to our Cuddlers social session if you would like to (drop in 11:45am -1:15pm in the main hall to the left.)
How much does it cost?
There is no charge, but if you would like to make a donation this is much appreciated and we suggest £5.
Select a "ticket" to book your space then in the optional "donation" box enter the amount of any donation you wish to make.
We aim to raise most of our funding from grants, but this is an ongoing challenge and your donations make a vital contribution to us being able to run these sessions as open to all.
Note that a donation alone is not a ticket, you must register to attend with a ticket too.
Capacity is limited. If fully booked please join the waitlist and we will release a space for you to book if one becomes available.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ATTEND AS SESSIONS ARE USUALLY FULLY BOOKED WITH A WAITLIST.
PLEASE NOTE: Didcot Baby Monday is a small charity and our remit is for families in Didcot and surrounding villages (Sutton Courtney, Chilton, Harwell, Steventon, Milton, Culham, Blewbury, N/S Hagbourne, N/S Moreton, Upton, Appleford, Long Wittenham). We would love to accommodate families from a further afield but unfortunately we do not have capacity at this time. Please answer the questions when you book - in order to manage demand and meet our grant funding conditions your booking may not be accepted if you do not have a postcode in the area above.
*We use the term mother rather than parent here to identify the need for dedicated support during the intense psychological, physical, hormonal and social change that occurs in pregnancy and the postnatal period. Birthing parents who do not identify as female, and non-birthing parents and carers for whom this resonates and who feel they would benefit from attending are of course very welcome.
