Following local demand for opportunities to weigh babies, we decided to start Weigh and Play which started in March 2023. Weigh and Play is currently run by Gemma, who is one of our staff members but volunteers to run this session. From Augsut, Kerry will be taking over the sessions with the support of a local midwife who is able to offer advice on feeding, weight and many other aspects of having a newborn baby. It is much needed and very well attended. The session runs on a Wednesday morning from 9.30 until 11am. This is weekly until August where it will then alternate with our Baby Sensory session. Baby sensory is bookable through Trybooking.

The sessions are free and are a great way for parents to meet others with young babies, weigh their baby accurately and make decisions about whether they need further support from health professionals. We are not clinical practitioners so cannot offer advice, but we can provide a warm and friendly environment with a cuppa, toys and useful donations!

Once your baby reaches 18 months (or earlier if they become too mobile for the rest of the young babies) we have lots of other activities to go along to which can be booked here.
