Sibling Baby Care Club

29th October
1-2.15pm
Unit 5
https://bookwhen.com/newbabynetwork

This is a fun, hands-on session for children aged 3 to 10 who are about to become older siblings. It gives them a chance to practise caring for dolls, play with baby equipment, and talk about what life with a new baby might be like. The aim is to help them feel included, confident and proud of their new role. Children can come along either before their sibling is born or after the baby has arrived.

What will be covered?

Nappy changing station: practise putting nappies on dolls, see the difference between disposables/reusables

Clothing station: dress dolls in babygros, talk about keeping them warm and cosy

Safe sleep corner: tuck dolls into a cot or crib and talk about why babies sleep differently from older children

Holding station: practise holding a weighted baby doll with parent or caregiver support, learning how to sit safely and be gentle while “helping”

Handwashing and germs station: practise washing hands properly with soap and water to show why clean hands matter when helping with a baby
