A very special guest at our BRAND NEW Nurture Circle

I’m so pleased to be welcoming Mumma’s Milk to OUR BRAND NEW Nurture Circle on Monday 🤍

She’ll be joining us to gently support mums with all things feeding!

Here's a little overview of what to expect:

"Excited to share that I’m now offering infant feeding and moving-to-solids support in association with Charlotte at Basking Babies!
I help families feel confident and informed through breastfeeding challenges, responsive bottle-feeding, and the transition to solids — always with a gentle, evidence-based and family-centred approach.
If you’re looking for calm, evidence-based guidance as you begin weaning or navigate breastfeeding/bottle-feeding, I’m here for you with gentle, practical support.

Leigh Murphy x"

Our Nurture Circles are about slowing down, connecting with other mums, sharing honestly, and feeling supported — and having Mumma’s Milk in the room feels like such a natural, supportive addition to that space.

I have just a couple of spaces left if you’d like to join us. You can book Nurture Circle on its own, or Nurture Circle with Baby Yoga.

As always, we’re never just a baby class 🤍

👶 Baby Massage & Reflexology 👶

Those early days with a newborn can feel emotional, overwhelming and beautifully intense all at once. Our 9-week Baby Massage course offers a gentle, supportive space to slow everything down and truly connect with your baby.

🤍 Suitable from birth – perfect for those early weeks when bonding, reassurance and calm matter most.

🤍 What baby massage can support:
• Better sleep and deeper relaxation
• Relief from wind, colic & digestive discomfort
• Calming the nervous system
• Strengthening your bond through loving, confident touch

🤍 What mums tell me they love most:
• Feeling more confident reading their baby’s cues
• Learning a skill they can use anytime, anywhere
• A calm, cosy space where everything is baby-led
• Friendships that naturally grow week by week

This is not a rushed class.
Over 9 weeks, we gently build the full baby massage routine, giving you time to practise, ask questions and grow in confidence — all while being supported by a lovely group of other mums. Babies are always welcome to feed, sleep, cry or cuddle 🤍

📍 Great Hallingbury Village Hall
📅 Starts Monday 19th January
🕯️ Calm, nurturing environment
☕ Hot drinks & snacks included

I’m incredibly proud to work in partnership with West Essex Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) — a partnership that ensures the voices of women, birthing people and families are heard and help shape local maternity and neonatal services.

Through my work, I’m in such a privileged position to hear so many of your pregnancy, birth and postnatal experiences — the really positive ones, and the ones that were hard or didn’t feel quite right. I do this job because I care so deeply about the mums I support, and I take that trust incredibly seriously.

That’s why I can’t just sit on those stories. I want to make sure your voices are heard, listened to and taken forward in the right way. I’m also incredibly grateful to work alongside such a knowledgeable, passionate MNVP team who genuinely care about improving services and celebrating what’s working well — and I’m SO proud to be part of that.

If you’ve received maternity or neonatal care at Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH), MNVP would really value hearing about your experience — both the positives and the areas for improvement.

This week feels different, doesn’t it? ❄️🤍

For so many mums, the first week back after Christmas can feel surprisingly heavy.
Partners heading back to work.
The days suddenly feeling long again.
That cosy bubble replaced with real life — and snow on the ground making everything feel that bit harder.

If today has felt a little lonely or overwhelming, this is your gentle invitation.

Tomorrow at Little Monsters, I’m running baby massage and baby yoga trial classes — designed to support you as much as your baby.

✨ A warm, welcoming space
✨ Gentle, baby-led massage or movement
✨ Time to slow down, breathe and reconnect
✨ Soft play entry included so you can stay and linger
✨ Coffee, chats and other mums who truly get it

No pressure.
No expectations.
No need to have it all together.

Just come exactly as you are 🤍

Spaces are limited and booking is still open for tomorrow — if you’ve been craving a reason to get out of the house and feel a little more like you again, this could be it.

👉 Book your space under 'Tuesday' classes on our website: www.baskingbabies.co.uk/bishopsstortford

There’s something really special about these photos 💛

Some of these mums walked into our classes back in June, babies just weeks old, not knowing a single face in the room. Fast forward a few months and they’ve grown together — babies rolling, sitting, crawling… and mums becoming each other’s village. Meeting for coffees, park walks, late-night messages, celebrating the highs and holding space for the hard bits too.

As January arrives, some are heading back to work, others onto new adventures — but in true Basking Babies style, it’s never goodbye… just see you later. This community doesn’t end when a term finishes 🤍

And this is exactly why we take photos in class. Not for socials, but for you. For the days when you forget how tiny they once were. For the reminder of how far you came in such a short space of time. Because this season moves so quickly — and these moments deserve to be treasured forever.

🩷 Our next term starts this January
💜 Only a few spaces remaining

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time. I’d love to welcome you into our mama village 💕

This is one of my favourite photos 🤍

These mums walked into class not knowing each other — and over the weeks, they became a true village. We create WhatsApp groups for every course so mums can stay connected between sessions, and especially at Christmas, those groups really come to life. Waking up to messages of support, honesty and “you’re not alone” on Christmas Day is something really special.

This is why our Great Hallingbury classes are intentionally small. So you don’t feel overwhelmed walking in. So there’s time for meaningful conversations. And so trust and real friendships can grow naturally.

It’s also why most of our terms run for 10 weeks — because connection, confidence and community take time to build.

If you’re local to Great Hallingbury and craving more than just a baby class — this space is for you 🤍

January classes are now booking.
