Poorly Poppets

All new parents are invited to a Poorly Poppets education session. We aim to do 2-3 sessions a year. We will send you an text message invite around 3-9 months of age. It is a one hour session giving advice on what to expect as your baby’s immune system develops, what to do if they are feverish, having difficulty breathing, unwell or choking,  (amongst other things….), and when to worry.

Your baby is welcome to come along too and we will be serving hot drinks and homemade cakes. Dr Perks will run the session and they are held at Hope Chapel in Hotwells, in the same place our health visitors run their drop-in clinics. We will text invites to eligible parents near the time.

We look forward to seeing you there.
