My kids are 14 and 11 and I still have a great network of 'baby friends" I met when mine were little... and that's why we set up Edinburgh Birth and Baby.
And more importantly the community page
Edinburgh Birth and Baby Community
As this is where you can ask questions, get the top tips and here about latest events
1 coming very soon!!!
Please head on over - there are a couple of questions to answer mainly to keep spammers and ticket touts out and to ensure its a safe non judgemental place to ask those questions that us Mums need to ask or share sometimes of your sanity and confidence

See you over in the group!

Friday Fact:
Babies can taste what their mother eats during pregnancy — flavours from the amniotic fluid help shape their future food preferences!

Can you tell if your baby likes of doesn't like something you eat?
I remember my first one seemed veery unsettled if I ate too much garlic!

We'd love to hear your stories and experiences either here or over in our community group

Hello lovely EBB members !

We’re FATOWL – a local, family-focused company offering beautiful baby, toddler, and pre-schooler classes across Edinburgh and Midlothian.

Our classes are about so much more than music, movement or massage (though we have plenty of that too!) – they’re about building community, finding connection, and supporting you as much as your little one.

From baby massage and bonding classes, right through to music, dance, yoga, and fitness – our sessions are designed to grow with your child, and support every stage of early development. Many families join us from birth and stay with us until their little ones start school!

We’re proud to have 5-star reviews, passionate teachers, and a welcoming environment where every family is seen and supported. Whether you’re a first-time parent or juggling multiple little ones – we’ve got a place for you.

Our new 4-week summer term starts w/c Monday 2nd June – and booking is open now!
We’d love to welcome you to class.

Meet Christina

One of the amazing team members that give their expertise to you for free over in the community & of instagram
(Edinburgh Birth and Baby Community)

Hi, I'm Christina – the founder of Little Bath Babies, and more than that, someone who deeply believes in the power of water, calm, and connection.

I'm a mum to two amazing kids (a teen and a pre-teen!) and have been running my own businesses since 2017. A few years ago, a personal health journey nudged me to pause and reflect. That time of healing led me to discover something beautiful: the magic of mindful water rituals in the early years of a baby's life.

I retrained as a baby-to-preschool swim teacher and later specialised in Aqua Sensory – and that's when everything clicked. I wanted to create something gentle, special, and grounded in love. That's how Little Bath Babies was born.

When I'm not in the water, you'll find me walking through the woods, wild swimming (yes, even in Scotland!), or savouring a quiet moment with an almond croissant and a good view. Nature, water, and nurturing connection are my happy places—and I've poured all of that into the classes I run.

Little Bath Babies isn't just a class – it's a peaceful, sensory sanctuary for you and your baby. A place to be held, supported, and seen.

I can't wait to welcome you both into the water.

📣 Our donation window for our next Swap & Share is now open!
Smaller items can be dropped off to our Family Wellbeing Hub at 4 Duncan Place M-F 10.00-16.00 except for Friday 2nd May when our donation window closes at 12pm! The donation point is outside our double doors.
Anyone that needs help unloading bigger items can drop off on a Mon 10am-12pm / Tues 2-4pm / Wed 3-4pm / Thurs 10am - 12pm / Friday 25th 11am-2pm and Fri 2nd 10-12pm
⛔️ Please be aware that due to the temporary closure of Duncan Place to traffic that it may be easier to drop off bigger items this week rather than next. Pedestrian access will be maintained next week but we don’t know yet how close cars will be able to get to the building. Currently there is access to the entrance of 4 Duncan Place by car from the Duke Street end.
We are looking for all things baby and maternity in good used condition such as:
👶Baby and Toddler Clothes
🍼Feeding items eg pumps, sterilisers, bottles
🛁Baby equipment eg buggies, baths, cots
👨‍🍼Carriers and slings
📚Toys and books
🤰Maternity clothes
🧷Nappies
If baby clothes could please be washed and sorted by age, (and if appropriate they can be sorted by gender too!) this makes the job of our amazing sort team so much easier and helps our swap go so much smoother.
🗓 The Swap itself takes place on Saturday 10th May from 11.00 - 13.00, please join us to pick up items for your little one
♥️ Thank you so much in advance, we are so grateful to be able to share with so many families and our charity partners too, and everyone is so incredibly generous 🙏
