Burwash Bumps and Babes
This is a voluntary, not for profit group for mothers of children under one year and for pregnant mothers.
Well, we finished our first set of sessions before the August break with a full house and our lovely health visitor Caroline who came to do another baby weigh-in session. Just as well she wasn’t weighing the mums as we were putting a lot of chocolate snacks away fast!
The group bought me a lovely bunch of flowers to say thank you for hosting the group and being a hormonal mum that brought on the tears a bit. Now we are on a break and holidaying before we start back with the autumn term on the 3rd September with a music session taster (Jo Jingles), which I hope will be fun even though the babies may be a little young yet! Over the next few sessions before Christmas we have a few other visits planned; another drop in from our health visitor, another pamper session with a reflexologist and reiki lady (this was very enjoyable last time).
During August we have had a baby massage course at my flat instead, which so far has been very useful. Massage is great way of bonding and relaxing, and we may also have this at a later date as a one-off with the group, perhaps when its cold, grey and wintery. We have three babies expected for September and October, so that will be exciting to wait for. New friendships are already forming within the group, which makes it all very gratifying, and worthwhile as this is one of the reasons I set up the group - so we all feel more supported and less isolated.
Any mums with babies under one year or with 'bumps' can ring me if they wish to come and join us.
