Upton - Baby and Me: Welcome to Parenthood

Becoming a parent is a life-changing experience, and it is important to remember that looking after yourself is just as important as looking after your baby. Join us for a welcoming and supportive session designed for parents with babies aged 0-6 months, although families with older babies are also very welcome. 

This session provides a relaxed opportunity to meet other parents, build supportive connections, and explore ways to support your own wellbeing during the early months of parenthood. 

We'll cover:  

• The importance of self-care and parental wellbeing 

• Building and maintaining a support network 

• Accepting help and seeking support when needed 

• Looking after your physical health through sleep, nutrition, and gentle exercise 

• Local support services, groups, and breastfeeding support available in your area 

• Managing common feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and isolation 

• Understanding changes in identity and confidence after becoming a parent 

• Positive partner relationships and shared parenting responsibilities 

• Responsive parenting and understanding your baby's needs
