Baby & Me is a free, weekly postnatal group for parents with babies aged 0-6 months old. This is a great way to meet other parents, share experiences, and gain support and friendship in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. Each week we focus on a different topic, such as first aid, play and communication, paren & baby movement, introducing solids and of course, sleep!
We’ve had great feedback too. One mum told us: ‘I find it difficult to come to groups, but coming here has helped my confidence and helped me to make friends.’ And when asked what they enjoyed the most, another said: ‘Realising that everyone has the same worries, concerns and questions!’. We hold these groups at various locations during the year, including Bourton-on-the-Water, Fairford, Lechlade, Moreton-in-Marsh and Tetbury.
We run our sessions around the school terms, so usually have groups starting in Sept/Oct, Jan/Feb, Apr/May. Please note that if you would like to join us at our Baby & Me group, your place must be pre-registered beforehand (these aren’t drop-in sessions). For more information and our registration form, please contact us on 01285 885391 or email us, telling us the group location you are interested in and the age of your baby and we’ll email you our registration form – groups@home-start-cotswolds.org.uk
