Amazing Babies, free sessions which show parents ways they can support and promote their baby’s learning and development, has been given the seal of approval from a Middlesbrough first-time mum.
Delivered by an Early Years & Family Hubs worker, the sessions include play, low cost activities using common household items, songs, rhymes, and book sharing.
Aimee recently attended Amazing Babies with her son, Kaiden, at West Middlesbrough Family Hub. Despite initial nerves, Aimee quickly settled into the sessions where she felt welcomed and comfortable.
Aimee said: “As a first-time mum I found the classes both useful for Kaiden and myself too – Amazing Babies has got me out the house and interacting with other mams.
“I’ve learnt it’s never too early to interact with my baby through talking and reading, as you think they’re not listening, but they are and pick up everything.
“The sessions also showed you don’t need to spend a fortune and buy all the latest toys – you can make your own fun out of household items.”
Sessions are suitable for babies under 6 months old. They are delivered in 5-week blocks each half-term at our Family Hubs.
If you would like to find out more or take part in the sessions, contact your local Family Hub on 01642 579120 or visit the support after birth section.
