What we have found is that week days are okay for some fathers to attend groups with their children however some still find it difficult to attend during the week so we have decided to put on a group on Saturday. The group will run once a month, the last Saturday of the month. So come along with your child, stay and play in a welcoming and child friendly environment. We have an experienced facilitator who will be able to support and give advice when needed; you will also be able to meet male carers just like you.

I’m a tube of tooth paste on the shelf, Sad and lonely by myself, When it comes to morning hear me shout, Lift my lid and squeeze me out. Taking care of your general health as well as your teeth is the key to making the most of your smile. Brushing your teeth twice a day with toothpaste, flossing them daily and having regular check-ups with a dentist can help keep your teeth healthy. But diet, smoking and drinking alcohol also have an effect on dental health Limiting the amount of sugar you and your family eat and drink is important to prevent tooth decay. Have sugary food and drink only at mealtimes and don't eat sugary snacks between meals. This is especially important in young children and babies It is also important you brush your teeth in the right way. See the NHS choice website for more details. We have a food van which is situated in Larkswood School on Tuesday between 12.15-2pm where low cost fruit and veg can be bought. If you want any information on speech and language, dietician or anything else for your children under 5 years please contact us on 0208 496 1551 and we will do our best to help.Breastfeeding I’m sure you know how good breast milk is for your baby. The first week’s milk is vital for supporting their immune systems, making their digestive system work smoothly. It works as the primary mum-child bonding attachment factor, which helps baby to feel safe and secure. Did you know how breast feeding is good for you? First of all it helps to restore your body back to pre-pregnancy as the body is able to recover quickly. Secondly, the researchers discovered breast feeding’s positive impact in preventing the breast and ovarian cancers. Thirdly, helps to overcome post birth/natal depression and builds self-confidence. Breastfeeding can be very challenging at first for most, but | urge you to not give up at the first hurdle as you and your family will benefit. And finally, did you know that men can breastfeed? Especially these days as there are numerous ways to express milk so that the feeding experience can be shared by both parents. It’s your choice as a parent and we are here to support you. We have a breastfeeding worker to help you through those first few days and weeks So you are not on your own.
