The Australian Breastfeeding Association Western Melbourne group are happy to host a special guest speaker this month! 

Sophie Fernandes is a play therapist and local mum of two primary school aged boys. 

She will be joining us to speak about play for babies and toddlers. You can find about about:

• Why play is important in these early years
• How play can aid development
• How play can foster connection
• What is 'play' for babies and toddlers
• Some ideas for playing with your own children at home

This is a very relaxed meet up – it’s fine if you come late/leave early – we know what it’s like to be operating on baby time!

Partners, expectant parents, friends, and children are welcome.
