2nd-Time Parents Groups
These are run by our NDC Parent Support Worker, Jayne. We aim to bring 7 parents and their babies together weekly, for 6 weeks. We run this class 4 times a year usually on a Thursday 10am to 11:30am. Our focus is on 2nd-time parents with babies 5 months and under. We also welcome 2nd time, 3rd time, 4th time parents. It is also an excellent way to meet other like-minded parents with similar aged babies (great for families that have moved to Adelaide and are keen to find a new village!).
These are perfect if your feel traditional “Mothers Group” may not be right for you, or have not sat well with you for your previous babies. We are keen to add to your village with like-minded parents. Our classes are:
- Inclusive
- Non-judgemental
- Evidence based
- Safe & supportive
Within the framing of Neuroprotective Developmental Care parents will learn evidence based approaches to feeding, sleep, settling, development and emotional wellbeing. Over a duration of 6 weeks, Jayne will answer any questions you may have about infant care, bringing 7 parent & baby pairs together for a 90 minute session per week.
The topics discussed in these parents groups will be flexible, according to group needs, but will often cover: adjusting to motherhood; managing extended family dynamics; feeding (bottle and breast); sleep; settling options; parenting values and self-care; starting solids; and anything else you want advice on!
