What to do with a baby in ED in winter?!

[sunnyspells]

Hi all

A friend of mine who lives in ED has a 6 week old baby. She is keen to know about any daytime stuff that she can attend with the baby. I don't have any kids so am of no help!

I think she is getting cabin fever and is keen to get out and about soon!

Any suggestions, along with details of the days and times things run, would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

The baby is probably a bit young for structured classes like baby sensory but there is still lots to do. I enjoyed going to bumps and babes - basically a coffee morning at St faith's in north dulwich. It's on Fridays at 9.30 to 11.30 from memory. If she's keen to get active she could try power pramming in either dulwich park or Peckham rye. A great way to get the baby to sleep. You don't mention if she knows many other new mums round here but I can also remember spending a lot of my time in the pub around that age with my antenatal group- the babies slept and had the odd feed whilst we drank hot chocolate and compared horror stories. Am sure there'll be lots more suggestions coming as it's a very baby friendly area!

Mum & baby cinema at the Ritzy in Brixton is lovely. Am jealous - my baby is far to old for this now!

Drop in baby massage class above Soupdragon on a Friday at 11:30 am is a nice relaxed class.

In the general area there is a lot going on for small children. We set up a Tea Groups page for local parents here, which has a list of things to do loaded up on the site. https://www.facebook.com/groups/321067798322/
