The T Shirt exercise...  As a new parent what would you like to say to others in response to their advice or questions, as if you wore it on a t-shirt? “Think before speaking!” “NO, HE’S NOT HUNGRY!” “Yes, it’s a girl!” ”What is a good baby?” “Leave me alone, I’m having my 5 minutes peace” “Talk to me (with arrow up), expect a hormonal answer” “Keep your opinions to yourself ” (on front), then “MUM KNOWS BEST” (on back) “If you ask me “How’s the baby?” again, I will tell you all about his last POO!” I had to get poo in there somewhere! It also seems a fitting place to end. Thanks again, and good bye. -Abi We can’t thank Abi enough for running our Early Days drop-in group for the last 12 years. The group has been a massive support for so many mums. We will miss you Abi! Thank you also to Jane, who has helped Abi run the group for the last year. You are both amazing :-) Although the group has now stopped at Gorse Covert, we will be running a Bumps and Babies drop in group at Loughbroough Leisure Centre, starting on Tuesday 25th October in the room just next to the cafe. 6
