Online Baby and Toddler Classes in Milton Keynes
As a newborn and a baby photographer I meet so many mums with newborns and toddlers and at the moment in this crazy time I can really feel for them. They can’t go to any baby, toddler or any other support groups at the moment that I personally found so useful. I would say that these groups are as beneficial for the mums as they are for the babies. They can socialise with other mums, make new mummy friends, share problems and experiences. When I became a first time mum, I went to many groups, but it wasn’t because I thought that my baby needed to socialise, it was for me. I needed to get out of the house and talk to people that were in the same boat as me. This has unfortunately been taken away from the new mummies. As I always look at the positive side, we are so lucky to live in this amazing world of technology and so even though It’s obviously not the same as in person contact, technology has given us the ability to not completely miss out on socialising, so we just have to make the most out of it. A lot of baby and toddler groups are doing their best to offer online classes, either for a small fee or for free. I am a big supporter of local businesses so this blog is only for classes that are in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. What is really good about all of these is that they all offer classes in various locations of Milton Keynes so you can do them online now and when everything goes back to normal, you can go to your favourite class in person and your baby will already be familiar with it :-) x
