New Mother’s Get Together

In addition to being a wonderful time, being a new Mother can be a frightening experience, especially if Singapore is your home away from home. Mother & Child offers the New Mother’s Get Together class for new Mothers with babies from about 2 weeks to 3 months. New Mother’s Get Together also provides new Mothers with a venue to meet other Mothers in the same situation as them. New Mother’s Get Together is facilitated by expatriate Registered Nurses (Health Visitors, Maternal and Child Health Educators, and Midwives).
