Newsletter
Our newsletter, ‘Double Cuddles’ is produced monthly 11 times a year. This is the main forum for communication with our members and contains details of upcoming social events, member’s stories, and other club news.

Antenatal
Antenatal sessions are held monthly depending on need. Provides expectant couples with information on preparing for multiples as well as a chance to meet other couples also expecting multiples. Members & non-members expecting multiples are invited to attend.

Breast Pump Hire
The club has purchased two double breast pumps to be available for hire to our members. These pumps were able to be purchased by the fundraising efforts of the club members. For details contact the Antenatal Coordinator.

Playgroup
Toddler & Preschool multiples, as well as siblings of multiples, have the opportunity to meet and play while Mum’s (and a few Dad’s) have a coffee and a chat.

DVMBA Playgroup is held every Monday morning (except school and public holidays), from 9.30 – 11.30am at the Montmorency Children’s Centre, Montmorency. (Mel.Ref.21 D5, next to the RSL).

Cost is $5 per family per week, as well as a piece of fruit per family to share.

The centre is specifically built for children’s groups and has children’s toilets and a nappy change area, a fully equipped kitchen, heating and cooling and an outdoor playground.

Activities are organised every week (details in the newsletter). Some of our special days include Easter Hunt, Grandparents Day, Dress-Up days and of course Father Christmas at the end of the year.

So come along and join us on Monday mornings for a cuppa and a chat, while the kids play. Children of all ages are welcome as well as siblings of multiples of course.

Library
The library has a range of books, some multiple specific, and others general baby/ childhood topics such as pregnancy, breastfeeding and toilet training. These are available for members to borrow from playgroup, antenatal sessions or by contacting the librarian directly.
