Volunteer-led session for new and expectant parents to meet and chat while babies play, with a Baby Cafe run by an NCT breastfeeding counsellor.
NCT Reading Bumps and Babies is back at the Reading Biscuit Factory on Tuesday 27 October, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. It's a volunteer-led session for new and expectant parents to meet and chat while babies explore and play, and it runs alongside a Baby Cafe run by a qualified NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor who's on hand to support parents with feeding. The whole thing is set up in a relaxed, safe, child-friendly environment, and you'll be signposted to other services too, including health professionals, local community support, and NCT's own services and groups.
NCT Reading runs local groups, activities, and events staffed by volunteers and open to every new parent, with the aim of forging friendships and raising money for NCT's work both locally and nationally. Bumps and Babies is one of those sessions, and the Baby Cafe runs right alongside it, so you can get some feeding support in the same space where you're meeting other parents. If you're still expecting, it's a chance to get a head start on making those connections before the baby arrives; if you're already in the thick of it, it's a place to bring your little one along and chat with people who get it.

The session runs from 1:00pm to 3:00pm on Tuesday 27 October at the Reading Biscuit Factory, 47 Oxford Road, Reading RG1 7QE, and entry is free.
