Join Emily for a welcoming morning of learning, individual guidance and connection with other mums navigating life with a newborn.
You don’t need a particular difficulty to attend. Each session has a focus, but your own questions can be about any aspect of feeding, comfort or early development.
Thursdays · 9am–1pm

One booking = you and your newborn baby.
Please choose one workshop during November so more mums and babies can benefit.
Explore positioning and attachment for more comfortable, effective feeding, whether you breastfeed, bottle feed or combine both. We’ll look at what is working well, common challenges and your own feeding questions.
Book free · 05 NovemberExplore early movement, why babies may prefer turning to one side, and how everyday positioning and play can support development. Take away tummy-time ideas and ways to adapt activities to suit your baby.
Book free · 12 NovemberExplore common reasons for crying and discomfort, including feeding-related difficulties, reflux and wind. Discuss practical ways to support comfort, recognise feeding cues and understand what your baby may be communicating.
Book free · 19 NovemberExplore feeding patterns, signs of effective feeding, nappies and growth, whether your baby is breastfed, bottle fed or combination fed. There’s time for your own feeding experiences and questions too.
Book free · 26 NovemberMake yourself at home, with tea, biscuits and baby-changing facilities on hand, and the freedom to feed, change or settle your baby whenever they need.
Meet everyone, get comfortable and settle your baby.
Information, guidance and group discussion around the day’s topic.
A focused opportunity for each mum and baby to discuss what matters most. Your question doesn’t have to match the workshop topic.
Informal conversation, final questions, shared experiences and feedback.
Emily Norton
Chiropractor & IBCLC Lactation Consultant
I support mums and babies through the early stages of feeding and development. Alongside my clinical work, I spent 10 years teaching at Health Sciences University (formerly AECC).
I created these workshops to bring practical, evidence-informed information and individual guidance together in a relaxed, small-group setting, with time to learn alongside other mums.
My hope is to build a supportive community where mums can share experiences and feel more confident as they navigate those early weeks and months together.
Each place is for one mum and her newborn baby aged 0–16 weeks. If your baby is older, please contact Emily before booking to discuss whether the workshop is suitable.
Choose a date above and book in advance through Bump to Babes. Please book just one workshop during November. These are bookable sessions, rather than drop-ins.
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice wherever possible so we can offer your place to another mum and baby. If illness, an emergency or an unexpected change means you can’t attend, call or text Emily as soon as possible, even on the morning.
To join the waiting list, please email Emily with your preferred date or workshop topic, along with a contact telephone number. If a place becomes available, we’ll get in touch.
Get in touch if you have a question, or would like to discuss whether a workshop is right for you and your baby.
