Volunteer-led session for new and expectant parents to meet and play with their babies, alongside a free drop-in Baby Cafe for feeding support.
NCT Reading Bumps and Babies is running at the Reading Biscuit Factory on Tuesday 10 November, from 1pm to 3pm. It's part of a series of Tuesday sessions that run throughout November — the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th — so if you can't make this one, there are three others to choose from.
The Bumps and Babies sessions are volunteer-led gatherings for new and expectant parents to meet, chat and let their babies explore and play. They run alongside a free Baby Cafe, which is staffed by an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor. The cafe is a safe, child-friendly drop-in where you can find support, encouragement and reliable information on every aspect of feeding: breastfeeding, expressing, mixed feeding, formula, introducing solids or stopping breastfeeding. It also signposts to health professionals, local community support and other NCT services.
NCT Reading's wider offer of volunteer-run groups and activities is open to every new parent and aims to forge friendships while raising money for the charity's work locally and nationally. That includes online support, a Parent to Parent group, a Breastfeeding Peer Support group and advice on slings, carriers and cloth nappies.
