Devizes, Melksham and Calne Breastfeeding Support is running here this afternoon (12th June), as it does pretty much every Friday afternoon.

Meet other new and expectant parents, have a cup of tea (or coffee, squash or water) and if you have any feeding concerns, you can discuss them with a fully qualified Breastfeeding Counsellor.

There's toys for all ages of children, and scales are available, should you wish to weigh your baby.

Optimum Bumps is the free antenatal group, which meets here, on Thursday evenings. There's just two sessions left this month (we've not got a session on the 25th).

Tonight the topic is caesarean birth - Whether you are planning a caesarean, considering one or trying to avoid one, with around half of all births locally caesarean, it is a procedure that all expectant parents should something bit about.

Find out what actually happens during a caesarean and just what your options are, as well as being able to chat to a mum who has had a caesarean birth.

And the topic for next week is slings - Carrying your baby in a sling enables you to bond with your child while allowing you to be hands free. However there are a confusingly large variety of makes and styles to choose from.

Not only will you be able to find out about the many benefits of wearing your baby in a sling, but you'll also get the chance to have a play with Swindon and Devizes Sling Library's collection of slings and find out exactly how the library works.
