There’s so much going on in Manchester and it doesn’t stop when you have a baby. The city has lots to offer newborn babies and their parents but finding out about it all isn’t easy.

This post includes two handy timetables to help you plan your week as well as suggestions for activities you can try any time.

 

Things to do with a new baby in Manchester

Click here to access a schedule of activities for parents to do with your new babies, ranging from sensory sessions to baby yoga. It’s aimed at newborn and very young babies. Some of the activities will be more appropriate when your baby reaches 6 weeks or has had their first injections.

Other useful tips

If you want to take your baby swimming it might be a good idea to buy them a wetsuit to keep them warm in the pool, and a swim nappy to prevent leaks.

We’ve bought these for Tall Boy.

 

 

Is there anything I’ve missed?

If you enjoy an activity with your newborn that isn’t on this list, or you run an activity that you think should be featured, please do get in touch. You can email me becci@tallmuminmanchester.beccibrown.com.

I will be creating schedules of activities suitable for older babies as Tall Boy grows.
