Join us at Haskett Park for our final park gathering before moving back to the EarlyON Child and Family Centre.Why Parents Need Support
Partners, fathers, and other loved ones can often struggle to know how to help the mother, or nursing. Although the breastfeeding relationship exists between the nursing pair, there are many things that partners and others can do to provide support.
It can make a big difference to a nursing parent to have a partner or friend who can celebrate the little victories like achieving a comfortable latch or watching the baby drinking well. Similarly, it can mean a lot to a new mother to hear encouraging words from the baby’s father or her partner, or her other loved ones when she is experiencing challenges. An important role for support people is to nurture the mother while she nurtures the baby.
Our conversation will be to explore what worked for you in the early days, weeks and maybe now months or years of mothering and parenting.
It takes a village to raise a child, but what happens when the village becomes a little too...involved? From the ever-present Aunt Linda's potty-training anecdotes to your cousin’s magic solution for diaper rash, everyone has an opinion. Understanding that these often come from a place of love (and perhaps a touch of nostalgia) can help you respond with grace and tact.
Join us for community, connection and conversation!
