Wimbotsham-based courses for new mothers needing support during coronavirus pandemic
A series of classes designed to support new mothers proved to be a success during lockdown.
Downham mother Roma Malone ran a new course called Nurturing Baby and Me which ran from November 3 to December 15 with mothers able to attend in person at Wimbotsham Village Hall.
The classes were exempt from the coronavirus restrictions in line with government guidance, much to the relief of Roma, whose second baby Ember-Rose was born in November.

A baby support course has been a welcome lifeline to new mums struggling during the pandemic.
Roma Malone, from Downham Market, launched the Nurturing Baby and Me postnatal course in Wimbotsham last month for mums with pre-crawling babies after hearing about feelings of isolation during lockdown and feeling many new parents were missing out on support.

The mum-of-two, who is a CalmFamily certified parenting consultant, said: There is nothing quite like the connection you get from being in the same room as other parents going through the same things as you.
