EDITOR’S NOTE Welcome to the August/September issue of Palmy Parent! This issue has a bit of a Babywearing and Breastfeeding theme to recognise their celebration weeks. We have included articles on breast milk donation, nursing aversion, Dads who Babywear and the Top 4 newborn carriers by Babywearers Manawatu. There are some exciting events coming up in October at Parents Centre Seminar Space and in the community so make sure you check out our What’s On Pages so you don’t miss out on registering for your space. We also take a look at the importance of looking after your pelvic floor, compare teething products, begin a series where we introduce the Palmerston North Parents Team to you and take a look at heuristic play. We have very recently and unexpectedly said goodbye and thank you to our previous editor, Jessica Mollie Ensing, so this edition has been lovingly edited by the entire Palmerston North Parents Team. We are on the look out for our next Editor, so if you’re interested please do get in touch. As always we are always looking for contributors! If you or anyone you know would like to share your empowering birth (or adoption) story, please get in touch at palmyparenteditor@gmail.com - you don’t need to be a great writer, we can work with you to get your story told.
