Calling all new, seasoned, and soon-to-be moms and dads to join the Real Mama Club Events
The annual Babies R Us Real Mama Club event series is back this year, bigger and with more events than ever.
Calling on all moms and dads – whether you’re new to parenthood, a seasoned pro, or eagerly awaiting your bundle of joy – join Babies R Us at one of the eight nationwide events taking place from April to November.
The event series provides an opportunity to discover the secrets to successfully navigating the journey of parenthood. Spanning across the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal, and Gauteng, are set to be the highlight of your parenting journey. The lineup is packed with real insights to help you navigate both the highs and lows of parenthood.
Everything from baby milestones to introducing solids, navigating relationships to car safety, postnatal depression, sex after birth and securing your baby’s financial future are combined with an entertaining morning full of spoils, a fabulous goodie bag, delicious lunch, stunning venues, and opportunities to engage with both baby and brand experts.
Among many childcare experts some of the speakers will feature renowned professionals such as Kath Megaw, a Pediatric Dietitian and author of ‘Weaning Sense,’ Ayanda Mkhwanzani, a fund and investment specialist from Old Mutual; and Spicey Madlalose, one of South Africa’s leading experts in car seat safety and a product specialist for Joie.
“Parenting is an adventure unlike any other, filled with countless challenges and endless moments of joy,” says Catherine Jacoby, Marketing Manager at Babies R Us. “They say it takes a village to raise a child, and these events are exactly that – a space for mothers to connect, learn, and grow together as part of the Real Mama Club community.”
She adds: “We’re once again providing a space for all mamas to connect with each other and gain solid advice on what to expect and how to overcome some of the challenges of parenting.”
“This event series has grown over the last three years to become a much-anticipated calendar event annually,” she adds. “It’s for this reason we have increased the number of events and included other regions to give mamas the opportunity to meet new mama friends, share insights, get advice and enjoy a perfect day out.”
What’s more, it’s not limited to mamas. We have seen many soon-to-be dads joining their partners at these events. “We also have baby care on hand so parents attending can be rest assured their little ones are taken care of by the Super Nannies team,” she adds.
Tickets are on sale via the Babies R Us website at a cost of R250 and the ticket includes: a goodie bag packed with mom and baby essentials, an opportunity to engage with our baby and brand experts, a free lunch, and a chance at winning one of many exciting prizes.
“We are including some of our most popular brands at the events with a full expo area where parents will have the opportunity to learn from over twenty brands including, Tommee Tippee, Joie, Bounce, Old Mutual, LOVA, Fisher Price and Pampers to name a few,” adds Jacoby.
“We know parenting is hard, but it is incredibly rewarding. The aim of these events is to remind parents they are not alone and that we are here to support them through the reality of parenting,” she explains. “Babies R Us is more than just a baby retail store, we offer free antenatal care, wellness checks for mom and baby, a family wellness department and the best products at all stages of parenting, all curated by professional moms, the Real Mama club events are an extension of this.”
“We’re looking forward to sharing our attendees’ parenting journey with our mama’s as we parent together,” she concludes.
