Johnson’s Baby and Baby Sense will bring together the leading experts in baby care and parenting for the 7th annual Baby Sense Seminars.
Book your seat now on www.babysense.co.za
The morning session, The Johnson’s Baby Womb to World Seminar, addresses the needs of parents who are pregnant or have a newborn baby. It covers the practicalities of care, as well as the concerns and issues that come with that stage of parenting. The focus is on pregnancy, birth, feeding and the basics of newborn care. Parents can expect a highly informative and very practical session, and to come away with ideas and advice that they can put into practice immediately in their own lives. Every speaker is a well-regarded expert in her particular field; Tina Otte, Megan Faure, Karen Hansen, Katherine Megaw and Sr Anne Richardson.
The afternoon session will focus on specific developmental, emotional and practical issues. Speakers will share their expertise about the all-important subjects that generate the most questions and concerns: sleep, feeding and baby health. Importantly, parents will be given the tips for soothing and settling their babies, leading to a happier and calmer family life for all, and for stimulating their babies age-appropriately. They will leave the day with real practical skills, and more confidence in their parenting. Again, an impressive line-up of experts has been scheduled, including Megan Faure, Dr Simon Strachan, Sr Anne Richardson, Karen Hansen and Katherine Megaw.
Dates: Cape Town 14/8 Westin Grand Hotel; PE 21/8 The Radisson Blu Hotel; Durban 4/9 Riverside Hotel; Johannesburg 11/9 Southern Sun Grayston. All venues offer a free babysitting service.
