Are you expecting? Do you have a new baby? Come and get support
Whether you are getting ready to welcome your baby or you are a new parent, our calmer beginnings groups will be a safe place where you can meet other parents, gain support, be heard, have a hot drink (if that's your thing) and learn a little in a very informal way about having calmer relationships and relaxing into your life as a parent.
These groups are run by our consultants, who have a deep level of knowledge in regard to infant development and parenting and will offer educational activities at each session as well as facilitating discussions and listening to your concerns. Education and support can be offered on topics such as:
Calming techniques
Baby sleep
Infant feeding of all types
Baby care
Physical, neurological and psychological development
Infant communication and cues
Carrying, handling and using slings and carriers
Infant massage and movement
Parenting
Safety
This is a new concept to the BabyCalm programme and so you will need to contact your consultant and enquire as to whether they are running it.
These classes are designed to run regularly (whether weekly, fortnightly or monthly) for you to attend on a drop in and pay as you go basis. They may run alongside sling meets or breastfeeding groups.
Our consultants are free to determine their own prices and so it will vary from place to place.
