What?
Bumps & Babies is a support group for women of all nationalities who are pregnant or have recently given birth. There is usually a short talk about a particular topic related to breastfeeding, pregnancy or child health. Professional medical advice by a nurse/midwife/doula is available at most meetings.
Bumps&Babies has a significant collection of books about pregnancy, childbirth, baby care and parenting. All BAMBI members or no-members may borrow books from the library. A 500 baht deposit is required for each loan; the deposit(s) will be returned to you once you return the checked out items. The collection is displayed twice a month at the Bumps & Babies meetings.
BAMBI is a project of the Chilbirth and Breastfeeding Foundation of Thailand who welcomes speakers from all areas so you can be presented with a wide range of information. BAMBI doesn’t endorse any point of view.
