Face to Face EARLY DAYS Workshop, Room B, Ground Floor, WMUH WEDNESDAY

Please check in with Maternity Reception - located at the front of the building (Triage Reception)

AS SPACE AT THIS WORKSHOP IS VERY LIMITED, WE KINDLY ASK THAT IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, THAT YOU CANCEL AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. IF YOU NEED SUPPORT TO CANCEL YOUR TICKET, PLEASE CONTACT US AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST YOU.

This FACE-TO-FACE Early Days Workshop focuses on all the practicalities of having a new baby; we encourage both the birthing parent and their significant other to attend (if possible). You are welcome to attend at any stage of your pregnancy to help you prepare for your baby’s arrival. At the start of the session, please let us know if there is a particular topic you would like information or guidance on. The usual topics of discussion are:

• Meeting your baby and caring for them in hospital
• Normal newborn behaviour (and who to contact if you are concerned)
• Sleep (baby’s and yours) and safety around sleeping environments
• Car seats
• Bathing and skin care
• Nappies
• Visitors and support from friends and family

Due to limited spaces, we ask that only those who are booked to have their baby at West Middlesex University Hospital or Chelsea & Westminster Hospital attend these sessions. If you are unable to make your session, please reschedule as soon as you can. If you are bringing a partner, parent or friend who will be supporting you after the birth, please ensure you have booked a place for them too. You will need to bring your notes in order to attend the session.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU AGREE TO "FOLLOW" THIS EVENT, AS THIS WILL ENSURE THAT FOLLOW-UP EMAILS (WHICH WILL CONTAIN FURTHER COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE WORKSHOP AND ANY VENUE CHANGES) DO NOT GET LOST IN YOUR JUNK MAIL.
