Calm & Connect

Calm & Connect is a small group session to gently ease you and your baby through the "fourth trimester" - the wonderful, overwhelming, messy period of helping your baby make the transition from the womb to the world, whilst you recover from birth and adjust to motherhood.
Each week we have a guided group activity to give you the tools make this rollercoaster feel a little smoother, such as baby massage.
This is followed by a cuppa & cake/biscuits and time to talk with other mums about the highs and lows of life with your new tiny human.
Support is also on hand if you have anything on your mind to do with infant feeding or sleep, no silly questions or worries.
Come as you are, no expectations or judgement, feed/change/comfort unsettled babies as needed, and leave feeling a little lighter.
