Luna Babies Norfolk

Our Ward 11 and Neonatal Unit are now using microwave bags for sterilising and decontamination of bottles and feeding equipment, replacing the previous sterilising process that was done in plastic tanks.
If parents wish to formula feed their baby, rather than breast feed, please bring in your own formula milk, bottles and a bottle cleaning brush and our team will supply the microwave bags, unless you wish to bring in your own.
For more information about infant feeding, please visit our website; https://www.jpaget.nhs.uk/departments/maternity-services/infant-feeding/

🐰✨🐰 LUNA BUNNIES 🐰✨🐰

Here are some of the bunnies from last week’s Easter event 🫶🏽 the last class at the Top Body Gym studio for a while!
It was so lovely to see all of the babies in their cute Easter outfits! For baby yoga, baby massage and some playtime.

I’ve had a few messages for the next courses, Luna Babies is taking a little break for the foreseeable future ~ here are some groups in the area I would recommend ~ You Me Moments, Owlets Corner, Groovy Tots, Little Stars Norfolk, Little Loves Norwich, Mi Soft Play, and of our local library with all their free groups and events.

Lots of love ~ Shiarn ###

If you have had a baby in the past 12 months there’s still time to join our Pelvic Health advice session being held at the James Paget on Tuesday, 8 April.
The lunchtime session – held at 1.30pm - is free of charge and open to anyone who has had a baby in the past year – whether that was last March/ April or in the past few weeks.
Our team understand pelvic floor issues can be difficult to talk about and aim to provide a supportive place for you to learn more about your pelvic health and how you can recover following the birth of your baby with lots of advice and facts available.
You’ll be able to ask questions and talk to others in a relaxed and informal environment.
There’s also plenty of room for buggies and a screened area for feeding so you can bring your little one with you too, if you’d like to.

Important update 💜

Unfortunately, Luna Babies is taking a break (after next week and the Easter specials)
so that I can focus on my family.

I’ve poured my heart into for 9 months but with another job and 15 month old, something had to give.

THANK YOU to every parent who’s attended the classes - I’ve loved getting to know each and every one of you and watching your babies grow - we have had lots of laughs, tears and put the world to rights many times! Keep in touch and maybe I can come back when the time is right but if you would like any recommend of local groups just give me a message!

Let’s enjoy the next few classes together 💜

💜🥹

“You will eventually relax into this. I promise.

One grey afternoon, you’ll be making dinner, whilst your ridiculously cute three-year-old sous-chef sits atop the kitchen counter, crumbling oxo cubes and sniffing thyme.

With one arm cautiously holding him in place and the other haphazardly grating cheese, you’ll finally feel at home in this not-so-new skin of yours.

You’ll hand him a secret slice of cheddar and jokingly whisper “Shhh!” the same way that your dad used to.

He’ll look up at you, face beaming, delighted with his unexpected tidbit.

It hits you. You’re enjoying this.

Finally all the other stuff, that once felt so immediate, will start to leave you.

The tiredness. Oh, the tiredness that you thought would haunt you forever.

The constant doubting of your own ability, that you thought would never leave you alone.

The fear that you will never, ever, get the hang of this.

Because, you will, my love.

Not every day. But some of the days and that is a welcome breakthrough.

And all the rest will slowly fade into the deep recesses, until the enduring feeling you’re left with is “I love you. I love you. I love you”.

(Today was a good day).”
