💚🩶 WHY WAS BABY GROWS CONCEIVED? (Pardon the pun!) 🩶💚
🩶 The more I thought about the concept of Baby Grows, the more I realised just how little I knew when I was pregnant about being a mother and how to best care for my newborn.
💚 I’ve worked with hundreds of new mums (and dads) but predominantly mums over the past 8 years since running Baby Sensory. I have had the conversation many a time about the fact you’re not given a ‘manual’ for when baby is born. Now I understand this would be impossible as every baby is different, however to know the fundamental information, even just the basics, could make a difference in how confident, informed and prepared someone feels when expecting a baby.
🩶 I realise there are a vast amount of books out there on the subject and of course Google but my feeling was that meeting others, in-person and learning from experience might be more beneficial for some. Not only that, but a ready made support network can also be created ahead of babies arrival.
💚 Labour and birth (which we do also cover) are of course vital steps in the journey that is parenthood but to also discuss what happens after that is equally as important. We want to help set realistic expectations, reduce worry (at least a little), support and better inform expectant parents so they feel confident and prepared for those first, life changing weeks and months of parenthood.
🩶 Baby Grows will never be a finished product. The programme evolves every time we run it. We want to ensure that participants get everything they want from it, therefore try to shape it to each individual group we work with based on their needs, questions and concerns.
💚 Alongside that, we are two mums that are lucky to have gained valuable insight and experience during our own ‘journeys’ as well as useful, relevant, professional development along the way.
If you would like more information about the programme please do get in touch.
Thanks for reading, Beth & Megan 😊
