Feeding one baby is a lot. Feeding two (or three) at the same time? A whole different challenge. Join us for an evening with Racha Slim, Principal Accredited Practising Dietitian and founder of NutriBlooms, as she walks us through the practical side of feeding multiples — from first foods all the way through the toddler years. Racha is a mum herself, and her approach is warm, realistic, and completely judgment-free. What Racha will cover: Introducing solids with twins, triplets, or more Building positive mealtime routines (and keeping your sanity) Navigating fussy eating phases Common nutrition myths from social media, and what is actually true Racha Slim Principal Accredited Practising Dietitian www.nutriblooms.com.au  |  @nutriblooms This event is free for SEMBA members. Please RSVP to secure your spot. Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89514052761?pwd=AFZ30pBDYXDSizNuxvehuBbs90qlMx.1 Passcode: 265839

Hi all, We look forward to welcoming all SEMBA members who are expecting their twins soon for a information evening hosted by two Committee Members. Hoping you can make it and please bring lots of questions along! We know that learning you're expecting multiples can feel overwhelming or even daunting. That's exactly why we created this space to chat. All questions are welcome! Whether it's something keeping you up at night or the wildest "what if" scenario that's crossed your mind, please ask. We've probably thought it, worried about it, or experienced it too. Zoom link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85714698330?pwd=HY6UE0UBeVqCdaCPfLrUOw9xs82WFp.1 Should you need it the passcode is 137465. Thanks, Mariona on behalf of the SEMBA Committee

We are excited to once again be hosting a 'Bubs and Bumps' morning tea for SEMBA members who are expecting their multiples or with babies aged 12 months or under. We hope you can join us for a cuppa, morning tea and chat at committee member Mariona’s house in Carnegie (address to be sent on RSVP). These morning teas are a great way to meet and connect with other SEMBA members who have babies of a similar age, while having someone else make you a hot drink! We know twin babies means our members are likely to have lots of different schedules, so feel free to arrive anytime that suits you between 10am - 1pm. Morning tea provided - be sure to RSVP (select 'Get Tickets') so we can cater accordingly. Please advise if you have any dietary requirements by emailing socialmedia@semba.amba.org.au.
