Sessions are very much a hand-on experience. Where appropriate, demonstration dolls will be used to give attendees the opportunity to tryout techniques shown for themselves. Dolls range from Premature size (3lbs) to newborn (6-8lbs) up to approximately 3 months size (11lbs). Dolls come with a huge array of clothes and accessories. All clothes are from high street shops (unless you are expressly told otherwise during the session) as I will not demonstrate expensive specialist equipment unless it is the best thing for the task. Having children is expensive enough without added costs just because a parent happens to have a disability.

Every dolls kit includes: clothing with different fastenings and styles, disposable and real nappies and feeding equipment (including breast pump).

Doll shown above is weighted at approximately 9lbs.
