Bump, Birth and Baby Stuff Full Day Course (Bedford Borough Families Only)

Bedford Borough's Bump, Birth and Baby Stuff is a collaborative approach to providing seamless antenatal care to first time expectant parents who live in Bedford Borough.

Topics covered include:

• Responsive Feeding

• Caring for our babies

• Play, development and responsive parenting

• Planning and getting ready

• Your health and wellbeing

This will be a full-day course delivered in person at Queens Park Family Hub. In the session on infant feeding you will have the opportunity to try out different feeding positions under the guidance of the facilitators. We ask therefore that if possible you bring along a doll, or a teddy.
