Poorly Poppets - baby health advice Bristol
We are two local doctors and would like to invite you to a session of "Dr Perks' Poorly Poppets".
Dr Woodbridge is a paediatrician (children's specialist) and I am a GP with a special interest in children's health. We have set up these sessions to help other parents feel more confident about looking after their babies when they're ill. As mothers of small children (4 little girls between us!) we know how difficult and frightening it can be when our babies first develop a temperature, a vomiting bug or breathing problems. Not many of us know what to do, when to worry or who to turn to for help.
The aim of this session is to give new parents some confidence when looking after their babies when poorly. It is aimed at parents of approximately 4-8 month old babies (ie once the dust has settled from becoming a new parent but before they are likely to pick up viral infections). The session will consist of a short talk of approximately 45 minutes followed by question time.
The Location - Cairns Rd Baptist Church, Bristol
The classes will be held approximately every quarter. They will take place at Cairns Rd Baptist Church, where the Bishopston health visitors used to do their baby clinics. There are loos, baby changing facilities and plenty of space for pushchairs. Cairns Rd is just off Coldharbour Rd in Westbury Park, Bristol, BS6 7TH. There is some road side parking but it tends to get quite crowded in the afternoons because of pre-school pick ups. If at all possible please walk, and if not, try to park a little way down the road. Please view a Google map of Cairns Rd Baptist Church for directions.
The hall is very large and we have microphones so everyone is welcome - the more the merrier. There will be a small charge of £5 to cover our costs.
The next class will be at 3.30pm on Wednesday 5th September 2012. Free tea and coffee will be available from 3pm (please do not arrive before this as the hall will be busy).
