Mignon: supporting birth and parenting

28/02/2026

We had a wonderful Connected and Contented Baby session yesterday. Our theme was all about mirroring, so we used our baby safe mirrors, we mirrored forward and back, side to side and round and round movements with baby yoga asanas, we had some gorgeous massage techniques, and a lovely time with the parachute. And we included this song and the signs that go with it (among many others). And then we all stayed on for .childrens.trust Bumps and Babes meet up. Things to make you think, things to make you smile, things to make you learn, things to make you and your baby feel good, friends to make and coffee to drink! The perfect morning!

Did you know that in each Connected and Contented Baby session there is a gift for you and your baby. This gives you both a pristine toy to use as a prop during the session, and then to take home with you at the end.

For our session on Friday at I am so excited as our gift/toy/prop are there wonderful baby safe mirrors. We are going to include lots of mirroring movements, signs and songs in our session and will use the mirrors throughout. When you get home (after coffee and cake with the .childrens.trust ) you can carry on the songs and the games with your mirror.

We have one space left in Friday’s session, if you would like to join us, please register here soon: https://www.mignonbaby.com/postnatal -contented or get in touch with me directly via www.mignonbaby.com

We use baby yoga, massage and signing combined with songs, movements and games to build connections in the babies’ brains, their bodies, between their brains and bodies, with their care givers and with each other. We build networks and supportive links in all directions and have a lot of fun whilst we do so.

26% of hospital births in Switzerland start with an induction. And partly due to inductions, more babies are born on week days than weekends! (https://www.bfs.admin.ch/news/en/2025-0282)

If you are pregnant, come and join us at Relax, Stretch and Breathe this week and learn more about inductions.

How, when, why are they done here? What other alternatives? What are the benefits and the repercussions? What might you build into your birth plan and your postpartum plan if you are having an induction.

After 30 minutes of learning and discussion we then have an hour of prenatal yoga, breathing and relaxation techniques, and then cake and chat.

Do hope you can join us this week, or for future sessions.

We have talked about this in RSB a few times recently. Breastfeeding babies born around 36/37 weeks can have extra challenges. This is a really good summary.
