"I thoroughly enjoyed attending the sessions"

About: Public Health Nursing / Health Visiting Service

(as a service user),

I was invited to take part in a parent and baby group with incorporated baby massage. This took place over a period of 6 weeks. Various health visitors took turns introducing and discussing topics each week i.e. weaning, play, first aid. These were very helpful in providing further detailed information to help navigate the madness of parenthood!! The health visitors were a great help when answering any questions we had.

Not only were the topics great to get chatting about but it was really lovely to have some one-to-one time with my little baby while learning baby massage which we've incorporated in to our everyday routine. (Although baby's attention span may have been very short and he just wanted to roll over to see the other babies).

It was also lovely to see other parents and their babies and it was good just to know that we were all in the same boat and being able to have a good chat about how we are all getting on and discussing what we find best works for each of our little ones. 

I thoroughly enjoyed attending the sessions (and very grateful that they were extended for a few extra weeks). I even think my wee one really enjoyed them too.

Thank you.

Dear August24

My name is Elizabeth Whyte and I am a Lead nurse in Public health nursing.

Thank you for getting in touch to share your experience of attending the baby and me group sessions facilitated by health visitors.

It is wonderful to read that the course was enjoyable for you and your little one, informative and a great space for meeting other parents for a chat. It is also lovely to read your feedback that you really valued and appreciated a few extra sessions - we will take this on board when running the next group.

I will ensure your welcomed comments are shared with the health visiting team.

Thank you again and best wishes,

Elizabeth
