About this event

A weekly bookable session for bumps/babies that are from around 28 weeks gestation to 6 months. Our session will include key messages and public health information relevant to your stage of pregnancy or babies developmental milestones. We will have age appropriate toys and resources set up.

There will be opportunities to socialise with other families and develop peer support groups. We will offer a free library service of pregnancy and baby books and leaflets available to borrow and read at your leisure.

We will also invite different guests too to be on hand from week to week, with any relevant support and information such as the infant feeding team, strengthening families, smoking cessation, car seat safety demonstrations to name a few. Our aim is to try and tailor make our sessions to suit your needs as much as we possibly can.
