I can help you and your family navigate some of the challenges of pregnancy and the first year.
SUPPORT IN THE FIRST YEAR
The arrival of a baby, whether the first, only or third baby for a family brings joys and challenges.
Some challenges may include sleep; or the lack there of, feeding; be that breast, bottle or formula feeding and then starting solids comes with yet more considerations.
Finding others going through similar situations can be really supportive, so can professional support from someone like Slu. Check out the services below to see if any of them feel right for you.
If you need urgent support or are distressed and need someone to talk to please call Family Lives which offers a confidential and free helpline service for families in England and Wales on 0808 800 2222 for emotional support, information, advice and guidance on any aspect of parenting and family life.
