Support & Services
Winchester NCT is there to support all expectant and new parents whether you're a member or not. All the people listed are volunteers, so please be considerate when contacting them.
Group Support
Winchester NCT runs courses and drop-ins for expectant and new parents. Relax Stretch Breathe, Antenatal, Refresher & Early Days courses are available on our courses page.
Breastfeeding is supposed to be the most intuitive act a mother can do for her baby, but a lot of us find it difficult. Breastfeeding support is available from NCT, via our helpline, or call our local Breastfeeding Counsellors direct. You can also call in at B.A.B.I.E.S., our Breastfeeding Support group, every Wednesday. Please see our Events page for more details.
Services
Egnell Pump Hire
We have 3 large, electric breast pumps, like the ones used in special care baby units, available to hire. Contact Caroline on 0844 243 6327.
Valley Cushion
The Valley Cushion is specifically designed as an aid for women who experience pain when sitting after childbirth. Hiring a cushion costs just £15 for 5 days, £2 per day thereafter. We have Valley Cushions available to hire for as long as you need. Please contact Claire on 01962 885670 if you would like to hire one.
Nappy Library
As you may have seen in our newsletter, we have a nappy library to help members test out the wonders of washable nappies. We have a selection of donated nappies - different brands and sizes for you to road test and discover that real nappies can fit in with normal life!
Thanks you to all our nappy donors. Donations of (in particular shaped) nappies such as Tots bots, wraps and accessories still very welcome. If you've just about done with a size and would like to help promote washables then please consider giving us a donation. We're after variety rather than quantity or pristine quality so even one well-used nappy will be appreciated.
If you can help please contact Annie at nappylibrary@winchester-nct.org.uk.
