Babyccino Baby Group

Real nappy demos, free trial kits, super yummy nappies to look at and buy, 20% discounts, sling advice cake and coffee plus chat with our fabby mummies and daddies. Our friendly group meets regularly so you can pop in once for advice and then find yourself coming back week after week. We will meet on Tuesday 26th March at 1.30-3.30 at the Hub on the Green, 8 Cathedral Close, just down from ASK Pizza on Cathedral Green. The group is part funded by Devon Real Nappy Project but we do ask…

This year Real Nappy Week will run from 15th-21st April and has the theme of 'Real Nappies... Real Change!" to encourage parents to help spread the word about just how fab cloth nappies are. Go Real, the nationwide nappy forum that Natural Nursery is a member of says: "Really Changing Lives Think - Baby and Parental Benefits. Comfortable, dry, cushioned bottoms make a happy baby. Early potty training and overall cost savings make a happy parent! And don't they look great…

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. It was such a lovely long break this year, I can't quite believe that it is back to school tomorrow. That means my diary is already starting to fill up: Thursday 3rd January I will be at Baby Cafe, St Thomas to demo slings. 10.30-12.30 in the Community Centre behind St Thomas Church Cowick Street. Tuesday 8th January may be the first NCT Coffee Afternoon but I am just waiting for that to be confirmed.  If it is on, it will be…

Christmas is fast approaching and an email from Joey about Hub opening hours over the holday period made me realise that we want to have lots of family time this year, so there will be a bit of a gap in Babyccinos. There will be one more this year, on Tuesday 4th December, at the Hub, 1.30-3.30 as normal (if you don't know, the Hub is a wonderful space on Cathedral Green, just a few doors down from ASK Pizza). The first 2013 Babyccino will be on Tuesday 15th January, as normal. There…

Tuesday is rolling round again and once more I will be at the Hub on the Green, this week for Babyccino. This is  friendly group that meets for nappy natter and coffee from 1.30-3.30. Arabella will be there to demo cloth nappies and answer any questions you may have and lots of other mums will be available to tell their cloth nappy stories too. There will also be a range of slings on display too, so feel free to come along and play! This group is open to all, whether you use…

As the lovely Joey has reminded me today, next Tuesday is the extra Bank Holiday so Joey will be having a well deserved rest and the Hub will be shut. The next Babyccino will be on 19th June but don't forget the NCT Coffee Afternoon will start at the Hub on Tuesday 12th June so now there will be something baby friendly every Tuesday afternoon at the…

Yesterday was a busy old day for Lamb and me. We spent the first part of the morning hanging out at home and playing together. Her current favourite game is “reading” books - we spend hours with her sitting on my lap, turning one or two pages in a board book, looking very intently at the pictures. She talks to the pictures quite a lot and does seem to be listening to me when I point to parts of the page and describe what is happening. However what she seems most interested in is…

Babyccino today was full of lovely mummies and babies/children, all playing happily together while the grown ups drank coffee and ate biscuits. My kind of afternoon. A successful afternoon on the real nappy front too - a pregnant mummy came along with lots of questions and was able to touch and see a whole range of nappies. As well as a nappy demo from me, she was able to chat to other cloth nappy users about their experiences of real nappies and just how easy they are to use. Also…

It was lovely to see so many of you at Babyccino today - a fantastic turn out for our first event!  Do let me know if you have any suggestions as to how we can make it better. Today I handed out 1 real nappy trial kit from The Nappy Project and put 2 more on the waiting list. The winners of the raffle were Kirsty (who has already taken her prize) and Lili.  I will bring your prize to the Sling Meet on Friday or give me a call to arrange another time to collect…

Joey will be serving her scrummy real coffee (£1 per cup), talking about the beautiful ceiling and generally being…
