Little Bean Play Session

Story Sense Session

Story Sense is a playful, sensory-rich storytelling experience where stories are brought to life through movement, imagination, and hands-on play. This isn't a traditional storytime - there is no sitting quietly and no book to follow. 

A small group workshop on introducing solids to your baby

(Suggested for parents of babies 3-6 months of age)

Returning to Work

Returning to work can be a rollercoaster of emotions and can generate some questions
about how to manage breastfeeding.

We will cover:
 Ways of continuing to breastfeed after your return to work
 Options for your baby’s feeds
 Expressing and storing breastmilk
 Possible impacts on your breastfeeding relationship
 The law and your rights as an employee

There will also be a chance to ask any questions that you may have about your own
situation.

Stopping Breastfeeding

Some parents continue breastfeeding until their little one self-weans. However, others
choose to wean their baby/toddler from the breast. Weaning from the breast can be as
challenging as establishing breastfeeding. This workshop is here to guide you through the
process.

We will cover:
 Reasons for stopping
 Pros and cons of stopping
 Gentle and safe methods
 Ways to manage milk supply
 Night weaning

There will also be time to answer any questions that you may have.

Introducing a bottle

point in their breastfeeding journey. This workshop will help guide you through the process.

We will cover:
 Reasons for introducing a bottle
