Tower Hamlets is a fantastic place to have a baby. I was happy with my prenatal care (accept a few hiccups) and the birth of baby at the Royal London hospital.
I accessed the local Sure Start centres in the first few months of baby's life. A fantastic neighbourhood resource.
As soon as I was able to get out and about I went to the breastfeeding support group. I signed up for baby massage, baby & mom yoga and weaning workshops.
All are free...
