Are you due your baby in the next couple of months? Do you live in Midlothian? If so, we have antenatal sessions just for you!

Our Bump Buddy sessions cover breastfeeding, bonding with your baby and what to expect in the early days of parenthood. It is also a great opportunity to meet other local mums due at the same time as you.

You are welcome to bring along a partner, friend or family member- whoever will be supporting you once baby arrives. It can be helpful for them to learn a bit more breastfeeding and the best way to support you.

All our sessions are FREE but it's helpful for us to know who to expect so please reserve your spot here: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/the-breastfeeding-network-midlothian-104661138221

If you have any questions please send us a message or email [email protected]

As the weather gets warmer it will be great to open windows and let the fresh air in. But toddlers and young children are at greatest risk of falling out and suffering serious injuries. Partly because their heads are heavy compared with their body so they can easily topple.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take much to keep them safe.

Whether you’re a spring cleaner or not, this is the perfect time to think about where you store your cleaning products. Small children are curious and want to learn more by putting things in their mouths. So, if they can reach it, they’re at risk of accidental poisoning.

Falls from bikes, scooters, skateboards and rollerskates are incredibly common. But some of these accidents can lead to life-changing head injuries.

Please encourage your child to wear a helmet every time they go out on wheels to protect their head. And, don’t forget to lead by example and wear yours too!

Remember no helmet = no wheels

🔵 Virtual sessions are a great alternative or additional way to attend groups from a location of choice.
🔵 We have enjoyed meeting mums for near and far, chatting around the trials of getting to groups, returning to work, siblings, breastfeeding and weaning, baby poo... and all things mum 🤣 hair…. Endless washing….cost of living…. Favourite foods…..music….sleep (or lack of) 💤💤
🔵 Very occasionally we may have to roll all support into one group - these sessions are run by our volunteers, and sometimes we just dont have enough volunteers for the sessions to run as 1:1 as well as a group setting. We do our very best 💜💚
