ABA EARLY DAZE is is a free catch-up especially for expecting parents, those with newborns and young babies up to around 9 months, and their support people. Come and join us for a cuppa, chat about the topic of the day and get to know other families while the little ones play. Everyone is welcome- you don't need to be breastfeeding to come along.

When we have a baby it can be so overwhelming and time consuming caring for them that our own care can fall by the wayside! Come along for some ideas to take care of ourselves when breastfeeding and when caring for our babies. We will look at positioning and attachment to take care of our bodies and prevent aches and pains, nipple and breast care, share quick and easy ideas for nutrition and exercise, and look at taking care of our mental and emotional wellbeing, too.

Meet up with other mums and bubs, and take the opportunity to ask any breastfeeding and baby related questions you may have - an ABA breastfeeding counsellor will be present. All queries are welcome regardless of the topic- supply, positioning and attachment, breast and nipple care, mixed feeding, sleep, naps and night times, weaning, starting solids, expressing and storing breastmilk, etc.

Morning tea will be provided. If you are having a fabulous morning and would like to bring a packet or plate to share, that is lovely, however if that's not how your morning is going, then just bring yourself and your little ones, there's always plenty to go around.

PlAyBA social and playtime follows at 10:30 am and you're welcome to stay if you would like.

The Mudgee Uniting Community Garden and Uniting Church Hall is a family friendly space. You're welcome to park for our session in the church carpark. If you can't catch anyone's attention at the glass doors (to the left of the actual church building at the back of the carpark), please enter via the garden gate to the left of the tearoom- we keep the glass doors latched to keep toddlers inside, however the gate has a childsafe latch and you will be able to let yourself in!

Bookings are appreciated and help us get in touch with you quickly if there is a last minute change of plan, however you're welcome to turn up on the day if you haven't booked. If you or your little ones aren't well, please stay home and get well this time and we'll see you next week!
