THERE may not be any big name bands or loud music and mosh pits, but make no mistake about it, Sunday’s Baby’s Day Out at Kibble Park is set to go off. An initiative of the Australian Breastfeeding Association’s breastfeeding friendly communities team, this is the first time an event like this has been held on the Central Coast Hotels, with the day designed to celebrate babies and their place in the world, as well as their right to be fed wherever they are and whenever they need. “Babies are an important part of our busy lives and don’t need to be hidden away in prams or fed under blankets or in separate rooms,” brestfeeding friendly communities manager Alannah Shore said. “Community perceptions can be influenced by positive images and real life examples. The onset of spring is the perfect time for families to go out together, taking babies and children along to share the fun. ” A group of mothers has been busy for the past couple of months putting the finishing touches on the event which starts at 10am. “It’s going to be a great day,” event co-organiser Michelle Hopping said. “We’ve been busy organising a range of fun, family friendly activities that children and parents can enjoy, including face painting and cake stalls, as well as showbags with information about local services and discount vouchers for the first 100 families. “There will also be Wiggle and Giggle music classes for babies to preschoolers at 10.30am and 12.30pm, as well as story time at 11.30am and 1pm and competitions for parents from noon. The Australian Breastfeeding Association was founded in Melbourne in 1964 (as the Nursing Mothers’ Association), with the primary aim of giving mother-to-mother support to breastfeeding women. The association is supported by health authorities and specialists in infant and child health and nutrition, including a panel of distinguished honorary advisers. Baby’s Day Out is on today between 10am and 2pm at Kibble Park, Gosford.
