Tweddle Day Stay Support

It is often an unsettled baby or wakeful toddler that spurs parents into seeking a referral to Tweddle however Tweddle’s caring, specialist Day Stay team support parents with many different challenges including;

• Sleep and Settling
• Feeding and mealtimes
• Attachment and bonding
• Establishing Routines
• Mental Health
• Toddler Behaviour
• Developmental ages and stages

All programs focus on infant health, development, and the promotion of attachment relationships. Attending a day stay program enables practitioners to work alongside parents, look at the whole 24-hour cycle and provide practical strategies to empower parents to do the best they can and to build confidence.

The Maribyrnong and Terang & Mortlake Day Stay programs provide support for parents and their 0 – 3-year-old children and our Geelong, Wyndham and Kings Park Day Stay programs support parents with children up to 12 months.

Tweddle Private Day Stay Program

• Duration:             Approx. 5-6 hrs ( 9.45 am to 4pm )
• Cost:                    $405

Tweddle’s private Day Stay Centres engage one family per day, giving you one on one support and the opportunity to run through a good portion of your baby’s daily routine.  There are tea and coffee-making facilities; you just need to bring linen and something to eat for yourself and anything your child will need for the day (bottles, formula, solids). A support person is welcome.

Note for families regarding Bottles and Bottle Brushes

Every year over 1,000 families stay with us, that’s a lot of bottles! In keeping with changes in Tweddle’s Infection Control Policy, Tweddle families are required to bring their own feeding equipment and bottle cleaning equipment (bottles, teats, bottle brush) for use in the communal formula/milk room. we also ask that families no longer leave boiled water in the fridge and instead boil the kettle immediately prior to each formula preparation.

This will help us reduce the risk of infection in stored boiled water.  Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for families.
