Here’s what to expect from our first Canterbaby Club event:
Join us for The Sleep Edit the first-ever Canterbaby Club event, designed to tackle the biggest sleep struggles parents face. Whether you’re a first-time parent or a seasoned pro looking for new tricks, this relaxed and informative morning is for you.
Where: The Welder Event Space
When: Wednesday, March 26th, 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
What to expect: We’ve teamed up with the amazing Jacqueline from Restful Sleepers, who will run a “Sleep 101” session, followed by a casual Q&A. Expect real, practical advice that you can actually use!
Helping Your Child Sleep Through the Night – Gentle and Realistic Tips
Sleep is a work in progress, but understanding why your little one wakes and how you can help makes all the difference. In this session, Jacqueline will cover:
- Why babies and toddlers wake at night – The science behind sleep cycles and what’s normal at different ages.
- How to help them sleep longer – Practical, realistic ways to encourage longer stretches of rest.
- Gentle ways to support night wakings – Effective, responsive strategies that respect both your child’s needs and your own.
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of sleep, plus actionable tips you can try that night!
Who is the event for?
Everyone! While the entertainment is designed for preschoolers, babies are welcome too—along with mums, dads, and caregivers. Restful Sleepers is keeping things open, with advice tailored for children from 4 months to 5 years old.
A Judgement-Free, Parent-Friendly Space
We get it—parenting isn’t always tidy. If your little one isn’t playing ball, you’re chasing a toddler mid-session, or there’s a full-blown meltdown, no stress. Breastfeed, grab a coffee, do what you need to do—this is a space where parents just get it.
Fun for the Little Ones
While you’re soaking up all the sleep wisdom, the amazing team at Crowntastic Events will be keeping the kids entertained with princess magic, arts, and crafts. Got a baby in tow? There’s a playpen setup so they can nap or play while you relax, take notes, and connect with other parents.
Good Coffee, Great Food
Because let’s be honest—sleep talk requires caffeine.
- Grizzly Baked Goods will be keeping you fueled with locally roasted coffee.
- Posh Porridge will be serving up delicious bowls from their famous Porridge Bar
- And the setting? A gorgeous picnic setup by Unic Picnics—think cosy, relaxed, and Instagram-worthy.
Capture the Moment
We know these baby and toddler days fly by, so Love, Gem Photography will be there to snap those sweet, candid moments. There’s even a photo op area if you fancy a professional shot. Because let’s face it—your little one deserves a good photo that isn’t taken on your blurry (and sticky) phone camera!
More Than Just Sleep Advice
We’re bringing in some amazing local businesses to make this morning extra special. Watch this space—we’ll be filling you in shortly.
Giving Back
10 per cent of ticket proceeds will be donated to PIPS, a wonderful local charity providing free, non-judgmental, client-focused practical and emotional support during pregnancy and early parenting! And because we know how fast kids outgrow their winter gear, we’re also running a coat donation drive. Bring along a gently used coat your child has outgrown, and we’ll make sure it finds a new home with a family in need.
