Nearly New Sale - Bag a Bargain on Saturday 25 September

The last Clapham NCT Nearly New Sale of the year is on Saturday 25 September 2010, between 9.30am and 12noon at Broomwood Methodist Church, Kyrle Road.

If you need to make some space and some money, we still have a few spaces left for sellers wanting tables and for those just wishing to sell large equipment. For more details about selling please have a read of the seller guidance (see menu to lefthand side of page).

Please consider volunteering – we need about 12 people to help on the day.

Otherwise, please just put the date in your diary and come along to snap up some great bargains on baby & toddler clothes, toys, equipment and books.

All welcome, with priority entry for first 100 NCT members. Contact nearlynewsales@claphamnct.com for further details.

Weaning Workshops and Early Days Courses now being offered

In response to demand from our members, we are now offering two new courses in addition to our regular antenatal and refresher courses.

Weaning Workshops run for two hours and cover topics such as signs of readiness for additional foods, ways to introduce complementary foods including 'baby led' weaning, suitable foods for the babies' stage of development, the continuing role of breastfeeding and guidelines on formula feeding and weaning. The workshops are best suited for mums and/or dads with babies aged 4-6 months. The workshops are run by a local NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor. Future dates: Monday 20th September 9.30 - 11.30am, Friday 4th October 9.30 - 11.30am, Monday 18th October 9.30 - 11.30am.
Early Days Postnatal courses will run in November 2010 (suitable for mums with babies born between August and October 2010) and January 2011 (suitable for mums with babies born between September and December 2010). The course covers topics such as sleeping, feeding, relationships, and returning to work. Led by an NCT trained Postnatal Leader, these courses are designed to support you to become the parent you want to be.

For further information on either of these courses, or to request a booking, please fill out the enquiry form in the courses section (left hand menu) or contact Carla bookings4b@nct.org.uk / 0844 243 6927.

Now Available! ‘Great Expectations’ Clapham NCT's Pregnancy Planner

The planner, featuring beautiful photographs of pregnant mothers-to-be and mothers with newborns, has been specially designed so that it can either be used as a pregnancy planner or as a standard annual calendar. Alongside the artwork, each page contains a monthly planner with reminders for important dates and pregnancy landmarks. Otherwise it has been left blank to either record all the mini-milestones that will eventually culminate in the birth of your baby or for use as a normal diary. Each calendar is beautifully printed on high quality paper in full colour and costs £4.99.

All of the models are Clapham mums-to-be and the stunning photographs were taken by local photographers who have kindly donated their time to this fundraising project. All the proceeds from the sale of this calendar will go directly to support the Clapham NCT Breastfeeding Drop-in, run by breastfeeding counsellors and volunteers from the Clapham NCT.

Clapham NCT’s version of “Calendar Girls” with a difference is now available to buy at NCT events, sales and you can order copies by sending an email to calendar@claphamnct.com with your name, telephone number and postal address. Demand is high for these gorgeous calendars so reserve your copy now.
