Exciting news………

We are delighted to announce that our Stourhead Buggy and sling walks are starting again.

Starting Thursday 26th May and every second and forth Thursday of the month.

If you have a baby or toddler under 5 years of age and wish to join our walks, please visit The Balsam Centre and register at reception. You will be given a pass which you will need to bring with you on each walk to present to our walk leaders.
The pass will give you free entry and parking when you join our organised walks. Please join our page StourHead Buggy and Sling walks for walk updates. Toddlers are welcome and if appropriate, we can offer a shorter route to facilitate small tired legs.

Please meet our walk leaders outside the visitors centre at 9:45am for a prompt start at 10:00am.

Please note

This walk is available for parent/carers with children under 5 years of age.

One registered pass per parent/carer. You must have a Balsam Centre pass to join the walk.

To qualify for a pass, you must live within a 10 mile radius of The Balsam Centre, Wincanton.

A full risk assessment is in place, however parent/carers are responsible for the supervision and safety of their own child at all times.

The walk will take approximately 1.5 hours. Once the walk has finished, you are welcome to use the café outside of the visitors centre but not permitted to re- entre the gardens.

Please let us welcome you and create more awareness 💖

Variations of normal

Variations of normal

They are two healthy babies, three months old, exclusive breastfeeding, and, believe me, neither the one on the left is obese, nor the one on the right is undernourished.

They are variations of normality!

Most likely, when they start crawling, the one on the left will slim down a little and the one on the right will gain muscle mass.

Do not compare your child to other children. Each of us is different.

You may look at this photo of me at work on a postnatal visit and think “she’s taking babies out for walks in the sunshine, no big deal” right?

When you delve deeper there’s so much more! I came with zero judgment to the family home, listened to a mother who was feeling touched out and needed some time alone. Those two hours I took her baby out gave her enough of a break to feel a little bit better. Those moments are worth so much 💖

I could listen to or read the words from Joy all day long! She’s so wise ☺️ definitely recommend anyone to follow me in doing so too 💖

Have you read the March edition of the AIMS journal on the topic of induction.

I was asked to write an article, and with a lot of editorial help I surprised myself.

I'll share a few quotes here to whet your appetite.

I share my experiences of training in the 1980s and how becoming an independent midwife taught me more than midwifery training ever did.

It's well worth a read https://www.aims.org.uk/journal/item/midwife-reflections-maternity-care
