Our waiting room was briefly crammed with prams last week as nearly 20 local parents and their babies met for a beautiful pram walk to Collingwood Children’s Farm.
Spring was in full bloom at The Collingwood Children’s Farm – horses grazed in lush green paddocks and chickens and peacocks marched proudly around their green grounds. Our group’s babies munched on fresh fruit at the farm’s café whilst mothers swapped stories between sips of their complimentary hot coffees.
Our Child Health and Development team organised the event to support healthy eating, exercise and social inclusion. Being a new parent can be tough, especially if you don’t have the support of other parents who are sharing the same experience. During the pram walk, mums shared stories and advice whilst getting exercise and fresh air for themselves and their babies. All these factors can improve mental health and wellbeing.
The pram walk is a fantastic way for parents to discover new places to visit, make social connections and find out more about other child health and development services available at our centre.
Thank you to all the parents and guardians who came along. Keep an eye out for more events on our Facebook page and visit our website for more information on our child health and development services.
