My name is Ashlee and I have recently become a first time Mum.
I am not a shy person as a general rule, not many High School teachers are really, so imagine my surprise when the idea of feeding my son in public riddled me with anxiety. I knew I would be fine amongst friends and other understanding mothers, but I was concerned about the public in general.
I researched online to find places that had appropriate amenities but only found minimal information that wasn't very detailed.
When our son was 6 weeks old we had a very important wedding to attend and I was very concerned. I phoned the ABA hotline to ask about storing expressed breastmilk (to give bub at the reception) and the counsellor suggested I call the venue and ask about breast feeding space, just in case.
The information from those two calls created the spark that inspired Babyccino- the blog.
I hope to visit many different places in Canberra and the surrounds and report back on the baby and child related facilities present. I will write something, attempt a few pics of an area of it is appropriate and compile a report card as a quick reference.
Here is the legend:

I will try to speak with the staff of the establishment if it is appropriate at the time. I will do my best to be respectful of the places I visit in a hope they will invite me back!
Funding- If you are looking to buy a Nose Frida (child's nasal aspirator) please use the link below, the commission will help fund my visits!
Great idea! As a new mum I can certainly appreciate these kinds of reviews. Will you be accepting contributions from other mums to post on the blog?
ReplyDeleteI hope to get to a point where others can contribute as well. The more information we have at our finger tips, the better!
