What is Baby ROCKS?
Baby ROCKS is our parent craft workshop to guide parents gently along the path to parenthood.
Baby ROCKS sessions arm parents with knowledge and improve the well-being of both parents following the birth of their gorgeous new baby. Our Baby ROCKS workshops will provide information to empower parents and allow them to take joy in providing for their own and their baby’s needs at this special time.
Baby ROCKS will help to build your confidence as a parent and to help you make informed choices for you and your baby. You will meet new parents, building new friendships and allowing the transition to parenthood to be as stress free as possible.
