Poorly Poppets
All new parents are invited to a Poorly Poppets education session. We do a session each spring and autumn. We will send you an text message invite around 3-9 months of age. It is a one hour session giving advice on what to expect as your baby’s immune system develops, what to do if they are feverish, having difficulty breathing, unwell or choking, (amongst other things….), and when to worry.
Your baby is welcome to come along too and we will be serving hot drinks and homemade cakes. Dr Perks will run the sessions and they are held at Redland Quaker Meeting House BS6 6JE. We will text invites to eligible parents near the time. Try to walk if possible as not much parking, space for buggies to be left downstairs or there is a lift available to take them upsatirs.
We look forward to seeing you there.
