MotherKnows Best

To paraphrase Jane Austin, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a new mum must be in want of lots of help, support and advice.

Joyful though it may be, nothing – not all the parenting books and websites in the world – prepares you for the arrival of a baby. Once you’ve recovered from the initial shock, it’s important to get out there and mix with other mums. The Dundrum Town Centre in Dublin 14 has introduced a series of fortnightly New Mums Survival Coffee Mornings. Each 90-minute session takes the form of an open discussion and is facilitated by a parenting expert from Irish parenting specialists, Clap Handies. Topics up for discussion include sleep, weaning, teething and play, and attendees are encouraged to share their tips and experiences.
