baby groups recommended for a 3mth baby?

[ClareC]

So far we meet friends, drink tea, eat cake and walk round Dulwich Park!! Am thinking I should be taking her to more structured baby groups, are there any that are particularly good / recommended?

Thanks

Clare

We really enjoyed bumps and babes on a Friday morning at st faiths just past north Dulwich station. Nice and small and friendly and you get tea made for you and biscuits! There aren't that many things suitable for really little ones...at 6 months we then did sing and sign and gymbabes (still do!).

Me and baby Verds liked Baby Sensory. Chee, who runs it, is really good with the babies and it's on at different times throughout the day so it fits in with naps. It's ?6 a class, but she does a free trial. It's songs, a bit of signing and a bit of waving things in their little faces.

There's the Wed singing session at Dulwich Library and the Busy Bees sessions on Weds and Fri's at the Horniman. Both are free.

Hi Clare,

I'm in your NCT group so you will have to figure out who I am, hehehe!!! We should have talked about this yesterday afternoon over our cake - we've just started Monkey Music at Goose Green and Sparkle Music at Barry Road church. Both very similar but W loves the singing and I get to learn new songs to sing with him at home - previously had to resort to Christmas carols as my repertoire was so limited! Sparkle music is on a Thursday morning at 10.40 and I think they still have spaces left if you fancy coming along. I can forward you the instructor's email or if you google it you will find her website. As you know we've also been to the Jelly Babies sessions at Peckham Pulse which is lovely at their age.

I second sensory. It's a bit random but the babies seem to love it. Every class is different.

This all makes me feel like I should be doing more with Tiny Man, we spend most of our time in cafes/looking in the mirror/going to Uni Qlo. Whoops!

Enjoy meeting friends for lunches, tea and cakes as long as you can! It will stop the moment your baby starts moving around and you will really miss having a nice chat sitting down in a cafe while your baby is just laying in the pram :)

[Ruth_Baldock]

Ha, he's never been one to lay there in the pram- he normally ends up on my lap making eyes at the cutlery and boiling hot coffee and other things which pose a hazard. In fact, my NCT group has had to stop meeting in local cafes because all the babies want to be out crawing/rolling around on the floor. Hmm.

The sessions at the Horniman are good as you can have lunch there after and also show them the aquarium
