Bumps & Babes Support Group
This group welcomes expectant, new and experienced mummies (and their bumps, babes and tots), and is a great chance to make new friends, share tips and support each other without judgement (all parenting styles, feeding choices and birth choices are welcome).
There is of course coffee/tea and cake (what group would be complete without it) and a lovely, cosy play area for any siblings. Here they can safely play with items such as craft, colouring books, sensory toys and imaginary play props.
Whilst tot plays, mummy / daddy can enjoy talks from some great weekly guest speakers including:
-
Sling Library

Cues & Communication
Our Mission .... This group is run by Baby Senses (Ipswich) simply to cover costs (not to make profit). It is there to provide a network of support and non judgemental information. Whatever your back ground, whatever your parenting choices, whether you work or are a stay at home parent, however you are feeding, whether you co-sleep or sleep independently, this group welcomes you, and we hope it will have useful tips and support to offer. Being a parent is hard ..... We hope to make it a little easier (and at the very least, enjoy tea and cake with new friends!)
