Back to Work

And just like that, maternity leave is nearly over and you are thinking about returning to work! It's normal to feel a range of emotions and to have questions and worries about how you and your baby will adjust, particularly around feeding, sleep and settling into childcare.

At this small group workshop with our Infant Feeding & Sleep Counsellor, you will have an opportunity to ask the questions, share the worries, and discuss what strategies may work to help you manage the transition to this next phase in your parenting journey.

FAQs

When is it best to come?

Whenever you are starting to feel the above!

Where is it?

In the upstairs room at Didcot Library, next to the IT suite.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge, but we appreciate an optional donation suggested at £5.

Select a "ticket" to book your space (please register one space per adult attending) then in the optional "donation" box enter the amount of the donation you wish to make.

We aim to raise most of our funding from grants, but this is an ongoing challenge and your donations make a vital contribution to us being able to run the workshop as open to all.

Note that a donation alone is not a ticket, you must register to attend with a ticket too.

Capacity is limited. If fully booked please join the waitlist and we will release a space for you to book if one becomes available.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ATTEND AS SESSIONS ARE USUALLY FULLY BOOKED WITH A WAITLIST.

Can I bring my baby?

Of course! Feeding, changing, settling during the session is all fine.

Can my partner come?

Yes, but please register an additional space for them.

How often do you run this workshop?

About once every 2 months.
