Supporting mothers and their babies through the first few months of parenthood
|
Mother-Baby Nurture® is a 10-week group designed to support you and your infant (0-6 months) through the early days of parenting as you get to know and respond to each other. It’s a safe, supportive and confidential space for you to share your experiences.
Mother-Baby Nurture offers a gentle pace where you can simply ‘be’ with your new baby: to listen to your infant, to your own self, and to the lived experiences of other mothers.
Mother-Baby Nurture® is a safe place to come if you are struggling with the transition of becoming a parent, finding it hard to connect with your baby, or feeling a little isolated, anxious or low. Each group is facilitated by two Facilitators experienced in mother-infant relationship-based work. |

“Meeting other mothers, knowing I was not alone”
“I feel more in tune with my baby and have developed confidence to trust my instincts"
“It’s not joyful and rewarding all the time… I was able to speak openly about my experience”
“I gained valuable insight and tips through listening to other members and facilitators stories that I now apply in my parenting”

Together as we reflect on our close relationships, and observe and respond to our baby’s needs – we start 'making sense’ of it all – and find solid ground |
