The BUMP&CO. bi-weekly newsletter for pregnant and new parents in Hong Kong
Introducing..
Your Community-Curated Guide for Expectant & New Parents in Hong Kong Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest adventures - and let’s be honest, one of the most overwhelming too. Between preparing for birth, finding the right baby gear and figuring out which classes, doctors or support groups are truly worth your time, the sheer amount of information out there can feel daunting. That’s where The BUMP List comes in. It's a brand-new, easy-to-access collection of trusted recommendations designed specifically for expectant and new parents in Hong Kong. What makes it unique is its foundation: every suggestion comes directly from the community - parents who have been there, done that and want to share their best finds and hard-earned wisdom.
No ads, no paid promotions, no hidden agendas. Just genuine recommendations from parents for parents. Right now, you’ll find our Restaurant List - family-friendly spots across Hong Kong recommended by parents who’ve been there.
But this is just the beginning. We’ll be adding new lists as we go - covering everything from prenatal care and baby gear to classes, support groups and everyday hacks - until we’ve built a full community-driven directory for parents in Hong Kong.
So, where are you heading to eat this week?

A huge thank you to our incredible mumbassadors for organising coffees, playdates and park picnics. You’re the heartbeat of this community — proving that it really does take a village to raise a child.

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FROM DR. KIM CARDER 🤍
At Carder Family Therapy, we understand that the journey to and through parenthood isn’t always easy, and it doesn’t have to be faced alone. That’s why we offer specialised perinatal mental health support for individuals and families navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum depression, birth trauma, or the emotional complexity of infertility or pregnancy loss, we're here to help.
We provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process your emotions, learn coping strategies, and feel genuinely supported.
Our approach is trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in evidence-based practices that honour each person’s unique story. We work with individuals, couples, and new parents to build resilience and foster emotional well-being during this transformative time.
You’re not alone, and support is available!

BIRTH BREATHING WORKSHOP WITH CALM 🌀
In this 2-hour class, you’ll learn three powerful breathing techniques designed to support you through each stage of labour - and ideally, become tools you carry with you well beyond birth. While we all breathe naturally without thinking, the breath needed during labour is more intentional, helping you connect with your body and your baby.
Much like training for a marathon, mastering these breathing techniques takes practice and purpose. 🗓️ Available Saturday 18th or 29th November ⏰ 09:30-11:30 📍 Omkara Studio, Central 🎟️ Spots are limited, book here @calm_hongkong
PREGNANCY WELLNESS WITH PAUSE 🤍

BABY BARRE AT BAUMHAUS ✨
Barre is a low impact, full body workout that combines ballet, pilates and yoga. You dont need to be bendy or a dancer - its all about getting yourself moving again, whilst helping your learn your new, post-baby body!
Do I need to bring my baby?
Babies are optional. If you want to come along with baby and wear them* in class great! If you want some me time to focus on yourself, then you're welcome to leave baby with Auntie/Daddy/Grandparents at home, or they can enjoy Baumhaus' playroom.
The only requirement for baby is that they are pre-crawling (or at least not hitting top speeds yet) - that way you can focus on yourself much more!
*if you dont have a carrier or baby doesn't like them, they can still come and watch from the floor.
Who is your teacher?
I'm Natasha, and I've been teaching Barre and Stretch to the wonderful people of Hong Kong for the last 3 years, and previously a competitive dancer and Tae Kwon Do black belt.
Since becoming a Mum I've experienced first hand the need to move and learn my new body after baby, and I'm excited to expand my classes to include Mum specific sessions. 🗓️ Thursday, 25th September
⏰ 12:30-13:30
