Antenatal courses, a quarterly 'Bedpost' magazine, Bumps & Babes meetings, breastfeeding counseling, feeding bras, postnatal support, nearly new sales and social events.

Anyone with a pre crawling baby is welcome at Bumps & Babes. We'll be there with drinks (hot & cold) & cake/biscuits. There'll be chat & support in a relaxed atmosphere, arrive and leave whenever suits you and baby.
Sling hire is open to all, we have carriers for any age and size (from healthy newborn). We have a wide selection of options and can help you find the one that works for you & baby. We'll show you how to use it safely too.

Here are the November library dates for Bedford (Luton session to be confirmed).
Do drop into any of these for carriers covering the full age range.
You are also welcome to join the walk & talk with buggy or carrier :)

Here's one of the many library buckle carriers, the Lenny light. It offers front carry with cross or ruck straps, hip carry and back carry. It should fit soon after birth (much depends on the baby) up to 18/24 months (the panel widens and lengthens as baby grows). If you'd like to try it do drop into a library session.
