Postnatal groups
General
Description
Postnatal groups are an information and advising service offered to new parents. The health care centre will invite participants to the first meeting at the health care centre. From then on, the parents must take the initiative to organise more meetings. At the meetings you can share your experiences with giving birth, the postnatal period and infancy, including
- Breastfeeding
- Parenting
- Diet
- Child development
- Accident prevention
- Relationships
The health visitor can offer guidance and advice if you would like. Children are naturally welcome to join as well.
