We have loved the baby classes for so many weeks! It has been so great for so many reasons! Phoebe loves seeing Rupert as they are basically the same age, and I love having some structured play to do together- particularly during lockdown it was so helpful to have something to structure our days around. Thank you Sophie, Rupert and Finley.
Thank you so much Rosie. It has been a pleasure to have you and Phoebe taking part in the classes and I love that you always say hello. I am so glad to have you both, and now as part of our Patreon family too xx
They’ve helped me to still feel part of a new mummy community when all other groups are cancelled. This has helped my baby to develop and thrive and helped my mental health to not feel isolated. They’ve honestly been a god send
As a first time mum, these classes have been brilliant, I have learnt so much how to interact and play with my baby, it’s been great to feel part of a community during lockdown xx
As a first time mama in lockdown, I was in need of solidarity and companionship from other mamas. I always looked forward to your classes and my baby loves them. When I sing the welcome song his eyes light up. You were a source of comfort and support during a scary time. Thank you, thank you, thank you xxx
My favourite thing has been the look on my little girls face, the grand old duke is still her favourite so we do that at least once a day! It’s recently dawned on me that I might never be able to get to actual baby classes as I’m now a carer so they’ve been a lifeline for us, makes me feel so much better knowing my little one hasn’t missed out more than any other lockdown babies - thank you Sophie and Rupert! Xx
Happy 20th baby class! I love that me and my baby boy Finley can do these classes anytime. He loves the ticking and peek a boo the best - it is so great to see him smile and giggle doing these activities! He sometimes gets distracted watching you and Rupert on the screen!! Thanks so much for providing these free weekly classes, they have been a godsend during lockdown. X
Did I burst in to tears at the song at the end, yes I did 😭😍 Sophie you're the best, thank you for everything you do and giving me and my little boy a baby class 💕 he gets do excited when we do the welcome song 😍
My daughter Amelia and me have loved joining in each week with the lack of baby groups at the moment. She gets so excited when she hears the welcome song, and Rupert is a similar age so its been lovely seeing them both grow and develop 😊 xx
I have loved these baby classes so much Sophie! We have also had a private message here and there too and you are so kind and supportive, just what a first time mama needs! Thank you for becoming my virtual mama friend and for creating such a lovely community in such a tough time! Baby Bonnie and I love the singing, lap rhymes and the loud banging which Bonnie can now do herself with her wooden spoon 😍
You are so welcome Natalie. Always happy to chat and make new virtual mama friends! Thank you to you and Bonnie for joining in (just love her name) and well done to her for mastering the wooden spoon!
These classes have been a real god send. The prospect of no baby classes running during lockdown and beyond was a real worry for me. I am so glad I have stumbled across your page, we look forward to your class each week! We manage to do it live quite often but if not it’s great that they are all available. We love the action and lap rhymes - I continue to sing then through the week and now the starting lyrics are enough to tune in my 5 month old daughter Grace. Cannot thank you enough! I’ve also found all your other content so invaluable too! Thank you for providing this for everyone! X
I’ve really enjoyed doing these classes with my daughter. I was able to go to classes with my eldest and felt like my baby was missing out. Doing these classes makes me feel like she isn’t missing out and gives me one on one time with her. And I love all the advice and support.
Sophie, you’ve no idea just how brilliant you & your videos are. You’ve helped me enormously as a first-time mum to get through this challenging time. There are not enough thank-yous I can give you. My now 7 month old & I have been there from the beginning. My favourite part is watching the smile creep on to her face when she realises “it’s time for Sophie”. Her all time favourite is the “grand old Duke of York”. A million more thank yous & love to you & your family.
Happy 20th baby class! Myself and my little boy have loved joining in with your classes. I have really enjoyed making sensory toys for him too which engage him much more than the traditional baby toys. Thank you for the support you have provided and well done to Rupert for being such a good side kick ☺️.
My daughter has a big smile when I put your classes on and gets excited. We enjoy all the activities and nursery rhymes. So pleased I discovered your classes early in the lockdown, they have been great and given lots of ideas for activities to do at home.
I've loved you showing me new ways to teach and play with my baby, especially when I'm alone in this lockdown. The poem at the end of the video actually made me cry! But it feels nice being a part of a community going through the same thing. Thank you for being a huge support
@@SophiePickles Gosh, so many tears! I wrote the poem down and read it to my husband when he came from work and off course I cried again. It really resonated with me, especially the part about 'I wonder what we've missed you and I'. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me and thank you for your videos. I wish you all the very best. Ps I LOVED Rupert's thighs. Im sending you some kisses and pinches from Australia to give to him. Such a beautiful baby
Ethan & I have loved learning the songs & new ways to play while we've not been able to go to groups. Having the flexibility to join live in the first couple of months and move to catch up more recently as his routine's changed has been amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do them, it's been lovely seeing Rupert grow and change too 🥰 I can't believe it's been 20 weeks!!
I have absolutely loved your baby classes. As a first time mum, it has been great joining in each week and feeling a sense of connection to others in the same situation. My daughter is the same age as Rupert and so it’s been especially great to do so many different activities with her and know that they are age appropriate! Thank you so much for providing so many free resources for mums and babies! Xx
We love doing your baby class. My little boys face lights up when he sees you and Rupert on screen. Our favourite thing I think has to be learning all of the songs, I like the adaptations of traditional nursery rhymes. I also like learning new activities that I can do throughout the rest of the week- loved baby aerobics this week! Thanks very much for your classes and keeping us busy during lockdown! xx
I cannot thank you enough for the last 20 weeks. As a new mother during lockdown I had no real idea about the best way to play with my baby to keep him simulated and progressing and didn't know the words to any songs! I was delighted to come across your classes and it is so wonderful when he recognises songs now and clearly has favourites!! We absolutely love the flying up high song as it really helped us find a way to do some tummy time at a time when he hated lying on his belly on the floor. The giggles when doing that song are just the best. Thank you again so much! Emma
Thank you so much, Emma. Your comment really made me smile. I am so glad to have provided some entertainment and distraction during lockdown, as well as some new ideas xx
I really look forward to these classes. As a FTM I felt completely lost and a bit alone, but they’ve been such a comfort and I have learnt so much. Thanks SO SO much xx
Being a first time Mam and not being able to go to baby classes, I was excited for my baby to experience things they would have experienced in usual classes not in lockdown! These videos have been an amazing bonding experience and I have watched my baby grow and learn new things through these videos ❤️ thank you so much ❤️
I have enjoyed so so much! Not just feeling like part of a community of mums which has been impossible during lockdown. But the content of the classes has been amazing. My little Jess has loved every moment. Not only that but all the helpful videos about sleep, night time routine and toy recommendations too. Sophie you are amazing ♥️
My toddler Freddie joined Baby Ben and I for this class and turned it into a crazy fun fest...he got all the sensory items out at once.. .it was wild and fun and ended up with some rare hugs between Freddie and Ben. Was just lovely. We also spotted Ben in your compilation video which was great! Thanks for a fab 20th class Sophie xx
I had my son 8 weeks ago and it's totally different this time around from when I had my daughter, everywhere is closed and no support / baby groups open. Your classes are restoring a little bit of normality and giving him the same opportunities his sister had, so thank you 💕
Well I have been doing the baby classes since week one and both my baby and I have really enjoyed doing them. I have to say my favourite part is the sing and sign, however Ayla's favourite part is the lap songs. She now recognises your voice and squeels with excitement when she hears you. I cannot thank you enough for your classes, we have thoroughly enjoyed them and I have recommended them to so many people who are now enjoying them too. Xx
I somehow came across your Instagram during the 4th week of lockdown. My baby is now 6 months but was only 2 months when I first found your classes. I was so happy to have found them - especially as Rupert is just 1 month older than my baby. You really helped me and so many other new mums during this difficult time and I just want to say thank you so much! 🤗
I love learning new songs and games for my son. He also loves your voice and looks around at the TV when I put it on! He thinks you and Rupert are his friends!
Thank you Sophie. My baby and I love your classes and we try to do one every morning. It helps start the day with smiles and positivity....and results in a happy baby needing a nice nap (winner!). We love the singing and different tummy time ideas. Today’s fave moments were aerobics and tin foil. Even after 20 weeks you keep providing us with new activities. Thank you thank you thank you. Rosie and Poppy. X
Thank you so much Rosie (and Poppy). It has been a pleasure to have you both along on this journey. So glad you enjoyed the different activities this week. It's a challenge coming up with new things when we are pretty limited with props available to everyone!
Hi Sophie and Rupert. Gabriella and I love your classes. Although my baby almost always needs a nap half way through. But the joy of online is we can come back later. I particularly love her wee face we I finally learn the correct words to the songs and she realises there’s a new song to listen to mummy singing (badly). Thank you so much you really have been a life saver.
Aww I love that! Babies really don't care about our terrible voices do they, they just love hearing us sing to them 😊 Definitely agree that the bonus of online classes is you can stop at any point! I sometimes see people dropping off when the class is live and I always think, 'Oh, there's someone who's crying/needs feeding' etc!
We love doing the classes each week. All of the activities and songs have been fun to do with my baby. It’s nice to learn new songs and sensory activities.
Your baby classes are great and to see my baby boys face light up when I begin to sing and play with him is an amazing feeling. I would not of learnt the baby signs if it was not for your TH-cam classes now we do the signs every day 🙂
I'm a first time mum and had planned on going to classes and things but of course that all got put on hold. I felt so cut off from everyone and didnt know what to do half the time but then came across your channel. The classes have been invaluable to me and have given me ideas to keep my little one entertained but more then that have made me feel a part of a community. So thank you so much for making my little one grin from ear to ear each week but also doing the same for me!
Aww thank you so much Kate, that means the world to me. It's been a hard time for all of us, but I especially feel sadness for all the first-time parents. I am so glad that I have helped in a tiny way xx
As a first time mum, I don’t know much about playing with babies and what’s important for their development. I’ve learnt a lot from these videos and the other ideas on your website. Your videos were so good during lockdown and love the cuddle while singing your are my sunshine’ at the end. I now do that every night before bedtime. Very glad I found your videos and Instagram page. I share them with all my other mummy friends Thank you x
We have loved the baby classes as they have taught me new songs and activities and given some structure to our day. We have also loved the DIY toy ideas, my daughter plays with them more than other toys! Thank you.
Loved joining in each week. Gave us structure during lockdown. Love the great ideas. As a first time mum with a 3 week old when lockdown started it helped me to feel part of something when we couldn’t go to baby classes.
Being a first time mum these classes have been such a blessing. Learning new songs and activities, adding some structure and fun to our days. Darcy LOVES the lap songs the most! Thank you SO SO much Sophie!!!
Hello Sophie, Hope you are doing well. Me and Frankie have been with you for 20 weeks 💗 and can hand on heart say your classes have kept mummy sane and baby engaged and helped me develop him. Frankie's favourite part of the class is shake shake shake shake STOP! and the makaton signs and songs! You are amazing! After watching your video on sitting up Frankie has mastered it . Your poem really pulled at my 💓 related to it soooo much 😭 When I am back at work we will be subscribing your patrion page xx Take care xx
Thank you so much Jade. It has been an absolute pleasure to have you and Frankie with us for all the classes. I am so pleased to hear that the video on sitting up helped! xx
Happy 20 weeks! Me and Amelia have been doing your class for the last couple of months. It's definitely a highlight of our week. Amelia loves the songs and lap rhymes. Thanks so much x
Hi, my favourite thing about baby class is getting to do a class with my baby this time around and not feel like he is missing out (as I went to loads with my daughter and feel like because of the circumstances we are in my baby boy is missing so much interaction) so it’s nice to have a class where I feel like it’s not just me at home alone all the time. Thank you
I feel exactly the same Katy. It's so difficult when you know exactly what they are missing out on. I sometimes forget that I'm not going to be able to do those things with Rupert because I've gone back to work and he's getting too old for some of the classes. It makes me so sad when I remember.
Thanks Sophie. Nearly nap time so just did the first bit and the relaxing bit at the end. Loved the baby aerobics... William has always found having his arms opened and shut hilarious 🤷♀️ I've really loved these classes for giving me new songs to sing...there's only so many times you can sing the wheels on the bus! So that's great! Thanks again 😘 xxx
The baby class has given us somr structure to our day and given me ideas of how to interact with my baby. Peekaboo a firm favourite and the puppet tracking. Violet is 11 months and we have watched from the start.
I have been following you on Facebook and Instagram, but just recently subscribed to your TH-cam channel and absolutely love all the play ideas you have! I will be going through and watching the videos from the beginning. As a first time Mum and having a baby just before lockdown started it has been difficult as I've been unable to attend Children Centres, so being able to view your content has been really helpful. Thank you. Keep up the great work x
Happy 20th baby class :) My favourite thing is finding different things to do with my baby. I have only recently started following and looking forward to going through all the different baby classes with my 6week old :)
@@SophiePickles this was such a fun class, the tin foil was a hit. My 3month old always loves the ribbon ring and the signing songs. Thank you so much for all the fun
Hi!!!! My favourite thing about the baby classes has been learning different ways to engage and play with my baby. My baby is same age as Rupert and as a first time mum have learnt alot from you.!!! Truly enjoyed the classes. X
We love the classes - I think we’ve only Managed a couple actually live but it’s so nice to be able to do them when it suits us and not worry about being on time! We love having new ideas for play, as well as the old favourites. I’m also glad that lockdown is lessened as I was worried my son knew your face better than his grandparents! Congratulations on 20 lovely classes - thank you so much :)
I love how engaged my 5mo is when we do the classes (although sometimes she enjoys watching you more than me 😂) and the genuine joy and happiness it brings her. It’s also given me plenty of play ideas outside of the classes
Hi! We started following you at the beginning of lockdown and have dipped in and out of sessions & love the different ideas for ways to play. Bubbles is now a firm favourite for Phoenix - she is 6 months and now loves trying to catch them! Well done for putting on these classes, it's really not been the easiest of times but knowing lots of others are going through the same as you is comforting and having something like this to do really does help motivate us mums on days where we aren't feeling great 😊 x
My favorite thing about the classes is that we can do them anywhere with a little modification. We spend a lot of time in the car driving to and from appointments and because most places are closed we end up inside the car feeding baby and changing diapers, so when we need a little break we put on your videos and do some singing and playing.
Happy 20th Baby Class! I'm so happy you are here with us. Check out the props list in the video description if you want to gather things before you start!
Your classes have saved me through lockdown - Each week I look forward to them! I have learnt so many new signs and songs. It has really helped me to bond with my baby
Watching my 8 week olds reactions to the sensory activities and songs has by far been the best thing. He's my first so it's discovering the world in a whole new way! We're very behind in the weeks, but I love that we have so many episodes to keep us occupied as I really feel like we've missed out due to this stupid virus!
It's amazing to watch their reactions isn't it. And at 8 weeks old, you've got so much fun and discovery to come. Just wait for those first belly laughs. Priceless!
@@SophiePickles I can't wait. He has such a gorgeous smile and cheeky faces! He's so alert and reactive already ❤️ as much as I want him to stay little, I'm so excited to watch him grow and to watch as he takes in the world
I love the idea that I am doing these classes alongside other mums, although I'll never know them! Also loved the songs that include signing, fantastic!
love your classes and advice that you give! We especially love the sing and sign classes and I’ve never done this before! and you always have time to get back to your DMs love the fact your a fellow Yorkshire lass too! well done and happy 20th!
Thanks so much Navneet! Love hearing from fellow Yorkshire ladies 😚 I do try so hard to get back to everyone, even if it is getting a little more challenging now! I am so so appreciative of you all xx
20 weeks gone fast! Never manged to join in live as we always end up running behind, but thats one joys of being online, we can rock up in my pjs 😂 i love these because we have missing going to our regular baby classes and definitely give us some normality. We even reply it a few times as hunter loves it even when he's doing a bit of independent play its on in the background 👏👶💙
Online classes definitely have their benefits! I used to dislike the fact that Finley would fall asleep, cry or need feeding for 80% of the baby class sometimes, and we were just wasting money! At least you'd never have the problem with these! Glad I can provide background entertainment too 😀
Happy 20th baby class Sophie! Thank you so much for doing these videos for us :) I have so many favourite things about the classes, but Kit absolutely loves the songs and they always bring such a beaming smile to his face. I also love that your classes give our week structure - Wednesday is 'Sophie Pickles day' in our house and we haven't missed one yet! Would love to win the prizes as I keep trying to buy shiny sensory toys but they seem to be far and few between compared to wood and plastic. Thank you again for everything you do :)
Aw Charlotte. What can I say? Thank you for being my cheerleader from the very start. I will never forget the beautiful message you sent me that reduced me to tears! I am so honoured to have become a part of your lives. 😘
Hello x my favorite thing about the baby class has been learning different ways to play with my baby and to encourage her developing skills. I love that when we go back to the first videos I can really see how well she is doing 💕 Also by coincidence my baby born whilst you were streaming week 2!
Oh wow! That's amazing. I do hope you weren't watching me! 😂 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It really is amazing to go back and think how much they've changed isn't it!
Loved joining in each week. Gave us structure during lockdown. Love the great ideas. As a first time mum with a 3 week old when lockdown started it helped me to feel part of something when we couldn’t go to baby classes.

Aww! That's because we are friends! 😊
Thank you Sophie. My baby and I love your classes and we try to do one every morning. It helps start the day with smiles and positivity....and results in a happy baby needing a nice nap (winner!).
We love the singing and different tummy time ideas. Today’s fave moments were aerobics and tin foil. Even after 20 weeks you keep providing us with new activities. Thank you thank you thank you. Rosie and Poppy. X
Thank you so much Rosie (and Poppy). It has been a pleasure to have you both along on this journey. So glad you enjoyed the different activities this week. It's a challenge coming up with new things when we are pretty limited with props available to everyone!
Hi Sophie and Rupert. Gabriella and I love your classes. Although my baby almost always needs a nap half way through. But the joy of online is we can come back later. I particularly love her wee face we I finally learn the correct words to the songs and she realises there’s a new song to listen to mummy singing (badly).
Thank you so much you really have been a life saver.
Aww I love that! Babies really don't care about our terrible voices do they, they just love hearing us sing to them 😊 Definitely agree that the bonus of online classes is you can stop at any point! I sometimes see people dropping off when the class is live and I always think, 'Oh, there's someone who's crying/needs feeding' etc!
We love doing the classes each week. All of the activities and songs have been fun to do with my baby. It’s nice to learn new songs and sensory activities.
Thank you so much for joining in with them! 😊
Your baby classes are great and to see my baby boys face light up when I begin to sing and play with him is an amazing feeling. I would not of learnt the baby signs if it was not for your TH-cam classes now we do the signs every day 🙂
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for watching and joining in xx
I'm a first time mum and had planned on going to classes and things but of course that all got put on hold. I felt so cut off from everyone and didnt know what to do half the time but then came across your channel. The classes have been invaluable to me and have given me ideas to keep my little one entertained but more then that have made me feel a part of a community. So thank you so much for making my little one grin from ear to ear each week but also doing the same for me!
Aww thank you so much Kate, that means the world to me. It's been a hard time for all of us, but I especially feel sadness for all the first-time parents. I am so glad that I have helped in a tiny way xx
As a first time mum, I don’t know much about playing with babies and what’s important for their development. I’ve learnt a lot from these videos and the other ideas on your website. Your videos were so good during lockdown and love the cuddle while singing your are my sunshine’ at the end. I now do that every night before bedtime.
Very glad I found your videos and Instagram page. I share them with all my other mummy friends
Thank you x
What a lovely message. Thank you so much for joining in, Laura. I am so glad to have helped you in these difficult times. xx
We have loved the baby classes as they have taught me new songs and activities and given some structure to our day. We have also loved the DIY toy ideas, my daughter plays with them more than other toys! Thank you.
Our DIY toys are definitely more popular than real toys here too! Thank you for joining in and watching xx
Loved joining in each week. Gave us structure during lockdown. Love the great ideas. As a first time mum with a 3 week old when lockdown started it helped me to feel part of something when we couldn’t go to baby classes.
Being a first time mum these classes have been such a blessing. Learning new songs and activities, adding some structure and fun to our days.
Darcy LOVES the lap songs the most!
Thank you SO SO much Sophie!!!
Thank you Kate and Darcy! xx
Hello Sophie,
Hope you are doing well.
Me and Frankie have been with you for 20 weeks 💗 and can hand on heart say your classes have kept mummy sane and baby engaged and helped me develop him. Frankie's favourite part of the class is shake shake shake shake STOP! and the makaton signs and songs!
You are amazing! After watching your video on sitting up Frankie has mastered it .
Your poem really pulled at my 💓 related to it soooo much 😭
When I am back at work we will be subscribing your patrion page xx
Take care xx
Thank you so much Jade. It has been an absolute pleasure to have you and Frankie with us for all the classes. I am so pleased to hear that the video on sitting up helped! xx
Happy 20 weeks! Me and Amelia have been doing your class for the last couple of months. It's definitely a highlight of our week. Amelia loves the songs and lap rhymes. Thanks so much x
Thank you so much to you and Amelia! xx
Hi, my favourite thing about baby class is getting to do a class with my baby this time around and not feel like he is missing out (as I went to loads with my daughter and feel like because of the circumstances we are in my baby boy is missing so much interaction) so it’s nice to have a class where I feel like it’s not just me at home alone all the time. Thank you
I feel exactly the same Katy. It's so difficult when you know exactly what they are missing out on. I sometimes forget that I'm not going to be able to do those things with Rupert because I've gone back to work and he's getting too old for some of the classes. It makes me so sad when I remember.
Thanks Sophie. Nearly nap time so just did the first bit and the relaxing bit at the end. Loved the baby aerobics... William has always found having his arms opened and shut hilarious 🤷♀️ I've really loved these classes for giving me new songs to sing...there's only so many times you can sing the wheels on the bus! So that's great! Thanks again 😘 xxx
Hehe Rupert loves that too. Makes me smile just thinking about his face when I do it!
The giveaway is now CLOSED. The winners will be announced shortly.
The baby class has given us somr structure to our day and given me ideas of how to interact with my baby. Peekaboo a firm favourite and the puppet tracking. Violet is 11 months and we have watched from the start.
Thank you so much for watching and joining in every week! xx
I have been following you on Facebook and Instagram, but just recently subscribed to your TH-cam channel and absolutely love all the play ideas you have! I will be going through and watching the videos from the beginning.
As a first time Mum and having a baby just before lockdown started it has been difficult as I've been unable to attend Children Centres, so being able to view your content has been really helpful. Thank you. Keep up the great work x
Happy 20th baby class :)
My favourite thing is finding different things to do with my baby. I have only recently started following and looking forward to going through all the different baby classes with my 6week old :)
Thank you, Claire! So glad you have joined us. You've got lots to keep you entertained at least, and at 6 weeks the fun is only just beginning 😃😍
Hello from Australia. We are about to do bedtime, so looking forward to doing this class with my little one tomorrow morning.❤️
Hope you have a calm and peaceful night and we'll see you in the morning! ❤
@@SophiePickles this was such a fun class, the tin foil was a hit. My 3month old always loves the ribbon ring and the signing songs. Thank you so much for all the fun
Hi Sophie - thanks for doing these excellent classes! We love all the tickles and bubbles.
Hi Charlotte. Thanks so much for commenting and joining in ❤
Hi!!!! My favourite thing about the baby classes has been learning different ways to engage and play with my baby. My baby is same age as Rupert and as a first time mum have learnt alot from you.!!! Truly enjoyed the classes. X
Thanks so much for joining in Carol. I love hearing from other mamas with babies the same age as Rupert. Makes me feel like he has lots of friends!
I love the baby sign language songs. My baby really love bouncing to the grand old duke of York. Thank you for your inspirational classes :)
Thank you for joining in, SJ! xx
We love the classes - I think we’ve only
Managed a couple actually live but it’s so nice to be able to do them when it suits us and not worry about being on time! We love having new ideas for play, as well as the old favourites. I’m also glad that lockdown is lessened as I was worried my son knew your face better than his grandparents! Congratulations on 20 lovely classes - thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for watching and joining in, Irana. I'm glad he's getting to know his grandparents more than me now! xx
As a first time mum this has given me confidence especially with the lockdown and it’s lovely bonding with my son
Thank you so much for watching and joining in xx
I love how engaged my 5mo is when we do the classes (although sometimes she enjoys watching you more than me 😂) and the genuine joy and happiness it brings her. It’s also given me plenty of play ideas outside of the classes
Thank you Natalie. That's so lovely to hear! xx
Hi! We started following you at the beginning of lockdown and have dipped in and out of sessions & love the different ideas for ways to play. Bubbles is now a firm favourite for Phoenix - she is 6 months and now loves trying to catch them!
Well done for putting on these classes, it's really not been the easiest of times but knowing lots of others are going through the same as you is comforting and having something like this to do really does help motivate us mums on days where we aren't feeling great 😊 x
That's so lovely to hear. Thank you to you and Phoenix for joining in 😊
Oh that poem at the end was lovely. Made me tear up xxx
Thank you! 😘
My favorite thing about the classes is that we can do them anywhere with a little modification. We spend a lot of time in the car driving to and from appointments and because most places are closed we end up inside the car feeding baby and changing diapers, so when we need a little break we put on your videos and do some singing and playing.
That's amazing to hear. So glad that you manage to join in, even when you're out and about. xx
Happy 20th Baby Class! I'm so happy you are here with us. Check out the props list in the video description if you want to gather things before you start!
Your classes have saved me through lockdown - Each week I look forward to them! I have learnt so many new signs and songs. It has really helped me to bond with my baby
That's so lovely to hear. Thank you so much. Rupert is a great name for a bear, as the TV show proves!
Watching my 8 week olds reactions to the sensory activities and songs has by far been the best thing. He's my first so it's discovering the world in a whole new way! We're very behind in the weeks, but I love that we have so many episodes to keep us occupied as I really feel like we've missed out due to this stupid virus!
It's amazing to watch their reactions isn't it. And at 8 weeks old, you've got so much fun and discovery to come. Just wait for those first belly laughs. Priceless!
@@SophiePickles I can't wait. He has such a gorgeous smile and cheeky faces! He's so alert and reactive already ❤️ as much as I want him to stay little, I'm so excited to watch him grow and to watch as he takes in the world
@@LeighAdams90 Watching them grow and change is just the most wonderful thing. I already want to do it all over again!
I love the idea that I am doing these classes alongside other mums, although I'll never know them! Also loved the songs that include signing, fantastic!
Thank you so much for watching and joining in xx
love your classes and advice that you give! We especially love the sing and sign classes and I’ve never done this before! and you always have time to get back to your DMs love the fact your a fellow Yorkshire lass too! well done and happy 20th!
Thanks so much Navneet! Love hearing from fellow Yorkshire ladies 😚 I do try so hard to get back to everyone, even if it is getting a little more challenging now! I am so so appreciative of you all xx
20 weeks gone fast! Never manged to join in live as we always end up running behind, but thats one joys of being online, we can rock up in my pjs 😂 i love these because we have missing going to our regular baby classes and definitely give us some normality. We even reply it a few times as hunter loves it even when he's doing a bit of independent play its on in the background 👏👶💙
Online classes definitely have their benefits! I used to dislike the fact that Finley would fall asleep, cry or need feeding for 80% of the baby class sometimes, and we were just wasting money! At least you'd never have the problem with these! Glad I can provide background entertainment too 😀
Congratulations Lauren! You are the winner of the sensory bag! Please send me a message on Instagram or Facebook and we can arrange your prize! ❤
Happy 20th baby class Sophie! Thank you so much for doing these videos for us :) I have so many favourite things about the classes, but Kit absolutely loves the songs and they always bring such a beaming smile to his face. I also love that your classes give our week structure - Wednesday is 'Sophie Pickles day' in our house and we haven't missed one yet! Would love to win the prizes as I keep trying to buy shiny sensory toys but they seem to be far and few between compared to wood and plastic. Thank you again for everything you do :)
Aw Charlotte. What can I say? Thank you for being my cheerleader from the very start. I will never forget the beautiful message you sent me that reduced me to tears! I am so honoured to have become a part of your lives. 😘
@@SophiePickles and we feel so grateful to have found your channel! Thank you 🥰
Congratulations Charlotte! You're the winner of the silver sensory balls! Send me a message and we can arrange delivery ❤🥳
@@SophiePickles no way!! Thank you so much!! :)
Love the one on one time no distractions just baby and me playing and singing.
Me too. Nothing better than that one on one bonding time. 😍
Learning new songs and ways to play with my baby ❤️
Thank you so much for joining in! 😊
Hello x my favorite thing about the baby class has been learning different ways to play with my baby and to encourage her developing skills. I love that when we go back to the first videos I can really see how well she is doing 💕
Also by coincidence my baby born whilst you were streaming week 2!
Oh wow! That's amazing. I do hope you weren't watching me! 😂 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It really is amazing to go back and think how much they've changed isn't it!
Hi the classes are graat baby are so cute and sweet
Thank you!
That poem made me tear up not gonna lie
❤️❤️

Loved joining in each week. Gave us structure during lockdown. Love the great ideas. As a first time mum with a 3 week old when lockdown started it helped me to feel part of something when we couldn’t go to baby classes.
Thank you so much for watching and joining in, Rebecca. Can't believe where the time has gone! xx
