New parents share, learn
from each other's experience
BY SCOTT HILGENDORFF
Expositor Editor
It's a •Morning Out for
new parents who gather
once a week to (earn from
one another.
That's the new name of a
parenting program at
Scaforth Community
Hospital that offers a
chance for parents to get
together and share from
their experiences.
"With people going
home more quickly [after
delivering] a lot of
questions arise after
they've gone home," said
Karen Searle who
facilitates the program.
Parents can come to the
"group as soon as they
wouldlike to and it's open
to anyone, whether it's
their first or fourth child.
Searle .lets the parents
choose what direction they
would like to go in,
offeiing speakers and
videos to fit topics of
interest for the parents
from breast feeding to
encouraging development
in the child.
"Just being able to talk to
other moms makes all the
difference," said Steacy
Turner who joined the
program after having her
first child.
She said it's a chance to
(earn from the experiences
other mothers are having,
get and receive advice and
have question answered.
Turner has found help
with questions relating to
breast feeding and dealing
with colic. -
She recommends it to
any parent.
As docs Brenda Mcnary
who joined the program
after having her third child.
Her daughter was born in
July and she started
coming to Morning Out in
August. -•
And she said it''s become
just that: a morning out.
Thcrc arc daycare
volunteers who look after
any toddlers thc parents
have and Brenda said it
.gives her a chance to get
out of the house and enjoy
the company of other
mothers.
"It's nice getting out,
talking and seeing you're
not the only one," she said,
adding there. are lots of
good speakers. • •
Searle said parents can
join the program at any
time and that topics
revolve around their
interests. She said parents
generally move on.
possibly to a Huron County
Health Unit program called
"Life After Baby" when
'topics begin to repeat
themselves.
Searle has been the
breast feeding facilitator at
the hospital for the past
two years and also
conducts the follow-up
telephone calls the hospital
uses to check with new
parents on how they arc
doing and whethcr they
need any help or have any
questions.
She said it was logical
for her to lead this program
since she is already
familiar to many of the
parents through her other
two roles.
.At the start of each week,
babies are measured and
weighed to help parents
keep track of their child's
development.
Searle said fathers arc
welcome to join thc group
but they don't often see
them because the session is
in the morning when many
of them are at work.
She said they are looking
at adding an evening
program that would allow
fathers to participate.
They currently get
together on Wednesday
mornings but beginning in
January. will meet on
Fridays from 10 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. at the hospital.
