The BUMP&CO. bi-weekly newsletter for pregnant and new parents in Hong Kong
NOVEMBER IS POST-NATAL RECOVERY MONTH
I don't know about you but I've learnt so much about the post natal period already from our amazing experts who have been sharing their fourth trimester wisdom. Thank you so much to Anna and Emily from Joint Dynamics Evolve for your physical recovery advice in the first week. And a big thank you to Dr Kim Carder and Brittney from Willow Support for your invaluable insights into perinatal mental health awareness.
Over the next couple of weeks, join us as we explore post natal mental health more as well as other methods of getting support in that newborn phase.

Just in the past 2 weeks we've had Saffron the Paediatric Nurse from Parent Infant Program sharing about infant CPR, Emily from Joint Dynamics Evolve on preparing your body for birth, Ishka from Mummas Who Move on returning to exercise post-baby, Sarah from NobleWills about the important of planning for the worst and Ziggy from ZigFitMama on positions to push!!

And a huge thank you for all the BUMP discounts you share with our BUMPS too!!
GOODBYE DECEMBER BUMPS! HELLO JANUARY BUMPS!!
We said goodbye to our beloved December bumps last week and welcomed our lovely January bumps the week before! Here we are trying on carriers and looking at prams in our first session with the January crew (we've also welcomed our first TWINS!!) and its so nice to see friendships that have already been made amongst our December due date class.
BABY MEET UPS!!
Great to see the Wan Chai crew head to a Mummas Who Move class together last week, with a coffee after of course!! Such a great idea! Will see if the other neighbourhood groups would like to do something similar for meet ups this week, please do suggest your favourite classes in the area and we can combine with a coffee after!
Also a cracking turn out for the Kowloon neighbourhood meet up on Sunday. It took us a while to get a date in the diary but we got there in the end!
Finally, it was so awesome to see our first ever class meet up - their babies are over 6 months now and they are still in touch!! HEART FULL!
BABY CAFÉ
On this month's theme of post-natal recovery, a very special thank you to Heather MacGillivray for joining our BABY CAFÉ and for teaching us about the very important 5 Pillars of Post Natal Health! Was great to see everyone and their bubbas!!
