This weekly drop-in program will be held on Fridays between 1:00-2:30 and will target families with babies aged 14 days to 5 years old. Public Health Nurses will be present to weigh and assess babies, provide feeding and parenting support, and make referrals to community partners as necessary. Foremost, the Public Health Nurse facilitator will encourage families to network with other families. The development of peer support networks is one of our key goals in providing this service. In addition, there will be information available on a variety of topics such as breastfeeding, infant nutrition, immunizations, injury prevention and safety, adjustment to parenthood, family planning, community resources, and smoking cessation.
