Postnatal Mums & Babies
Viveka's ever-popular friendly group, hosted by Ann Herreboudt, is always packed with great advice. It's a sociable event and mums come back year after year, baby after baby! Every Wednesday, 1-2.30pm, with guest speakers on hot topics.
This Wednesday afternoon group is an open forum where we explore issues of the day - whatever you and other mums bring along. Ann is one of north London's finest parenting advisers, with many years experience leading parenting groups and working as a midwife, breastfeeding consultant, counsellor, child psychologist and first aid teacher.
Ann frequently addresses concerns about:
- sleeping - what's normal, depending on the age of your baby, and what to do if you're having 'problems'
- breastfeeding - comfort, difficulties, support, combining breast and bottle, and/or moving onto bottles
- weaning - when it's time for your baby to start solids, and how to practice baby led weaning at home
- teething - the signs, some remedies, and easing the pain
- daily routines - how to make each day work for you and your baby
