Our Story

Sometimes coping with a young baby can be difficult, lonely and stressful.

The Waikato Family Centre offers Waikato families with babies (under 24 months) free, professional, practical, advice and support from our team of highly experienced nurses.

Common issues we deal with include: Crying and unsettled baby; sleeping concerns; breastfeeding; bottle feeding; slow weight gain in babies; gastric reflux; weaning; nutrition; allergies; postnatal distress & mother crafting.

Our information evenings and support groups for Teen Parents and Postnatal Distress give families the opportunity to talk with friendly health professionals in a supportive group environment.
