Well, that's a very nice "side-effect" of singing to your baby!

This!

As a Mum, it’s huge that Singing Mamas is a group for YOU to enjoy - one of the few things you can take your little one to that’s isn’t all about them! HOWEVER, it’s also an amazing experience for your baba, with oodles of benefits! 🌟

💗 My daughter was just six months old when I first went to Laura’s Singing Mamas group. I was thrilled to find out that Laura’s little boy was the exact same age, born just days apart! They couldn’t even crawl yet, but managed to gravitate towards one another, fascinated by each others hands and faces. Fast forward two years, and they are still absolute besties!

🧡 Laura and I have first hand experience of the absolute magic that coming to Singing Mamas has offered, not only us, but also our little ones.

💕 I’m amazed every time I hear W singing something we sang at SM - sometimes days or even weeks later. She seems to absorb the songs while spending the whole time busy running around and playing with her besties. She was singing before she was talking and she’s even started making up her own songs! This blows my mind - she’s only 2! Isn’t the power of singing together amazing?

💖 We’d love to welcome you and your little ones at a Singing for Wellbeing session soon in Tonbridge - DM for more info or click on the link in bio to book.

This is what Singing Mamas is about... coming together, with songs to soothe and support us. Isn't this video of our leaders sneaking in a moment to gather and sing in a circle gorgeous? 💞

"Singing demands the singer be in the moment, rather like meditation, or sport. A project for the UK government’s Foresight programme listed five ways to wellbeing – connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, give; singing manages all five. There is even some evidence that it may help to sustain a healthy immune system."

This article says it all! 🧡

Recipe from my beloved late mom-in-law. I'm sure she'll be happy that I'm sharing this with my singing group. Though I substituted the brown sugar with sweeteners, so they don't look as golden brown as hers.

The book is a collection of recipes and daily wisdom from her tribe of women. The spirit of "it takes a village", with a sprinkle of fun and showers of love.
