Ducklings sensory baby spa
A very special treat for you and baby.

We start the class by giving our baby a sensory baby bath. This is a little different from a hygiene bath you would give at home.
We incorporate sensory play into the bath using movement touch, light up toys, mirrors, our whirlpool jacuzzi baths and showers. O
We then dry baby off and wrap them up in one of our duckling dressing gowns ready for their facial, leg and foot massage.
Adults can then enjoy a hot drink, biscuit and time to chat to other parents.
Suitable for babies from 6 weeks - pre crawling
Introduction to Solids - weaning made easy
Are you starting to think about weaning your baby and not sure where to start?
Are you receiving pressure from family members to wean your baby and you're not sure when is the right time to start?
Are you feeling baffled by purees, mashed foods, finger foods, weaning plans, baby led weaning?
Are you wanting to get off to a good start and have your baby develop a healthy relationship with food?
Our weaning workshop takes the stress out of weaning and makes it fun and easy. I understand that every baby is different and every family is different and rathe than giving you a rigid plan to follow I help you to understand all of the facts and myths around weaning and make choices that are right for your family.
You'll leave with a handout, some meal ideas and the confidence to start introducing foods to your baby.
Babies are very welcome in the session, but not required.
