Frequently Asked Questions
What is a MoMiMa's Parent + Baby Retreat?
MoMiMa's retreats are specially designed getaways for parents and their babies, a chance to pause, recharge, connect and enjoy some precious time together.
Think wellness, nourishing food, expert sessions, baby-friendly activities, childcare, relaxation and lots of opportunities to meet other parents who are going through the same stage of life. Most importantly, you don’t have to leave your baby behind to look after yourself.
How old does my baby need to be?
Our retreats are designed for parents with babies under 1. If you’re unsure whether your baby is the right age for a particular retreat, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to chat.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely! In fact, many of our guests come solo and without knowing anyone else. MoMiMa's Retreats is all about creating a warm, welcoming environment where you can meet other parents, make new friends and feel part of a community.
Is childcare included?
Yes! Depending on the duration of the retreat, we book a local childcare provider for one or two afternoons on the retreat.
The childcare offered is designed to give you some genuine time for yourself, whether that means joining a wellness session, a class, enjoying a meal, having a treatment or simply sitting quietly with a cup of tea!
Can I have time away from my baby?
Of course! One of the things that makes MoMiMa's Retreats different is that we believe looking after yourself is an important part of being a parent. There are plenty of opportunities to spend time with your baby, alongside moments where you can relax, recharge and enjoy being you, not just Mum or Dad.

What kind of activities are there?
Every retreat is a little different, but you can expect a mix of wellness & movement such as yoga, pilates and sound baths, relaxation, expert advice on topics such as sleep, feeding, weaning, relationships, baby activities such as parent & baby yoga, baby sensory, baby massage, social time and plenty of downtime.
There’s no pressure to join everything. You can make the retreat work for you and your baby.
What if my baby doesn’t settle or I need to change plans?
That’s completely normal, babies don't always stick to the plan!
There’s no judgement and no expectation that you’ll follow the schedule perfectly. Our retreats are designed to be flexible and supportive, so you can adapt things around your baby when needed.
What food is provided?
We provide delicious, nourishing chef prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and refreshments throughout the retreat.
Please let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when booking so we can make sure we look after you.
Can I bring my partner?
Absolutely! Our retreats are designed for one or two adults joining with a baby.
If you have a specific question about who can attend, please get in touch.
What should I bring?
We’ll send you a full packing list before your retreat, but you’ll generally want to bring everything you and your baby would normally need for a few nights away, plus anything that helps you both feel comfortable.
If you plan to join any activities, bring appropriate clothing and footwear for them too.
What happens if my baby is unwell?
We completely understand that babies get poorly.
If your baby is unwell before the retreat, please contact us as soon as possible and we’ll talk through your options in line with our cancellation policy.
What happens if I need to cancel?
We know that life with a baby can be unpredictable, so we have a clear cancellation policy.
You can find the full details in our T&Cs.
If something unexpected happens, please contact us as soon as possible, we’ll always do our best to help.
I’m nervous about coming — is MoMiMa for me?
If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, lonely, in need of some adult conversation, or simply fancy a lovely few days away with your baby, you’re exactly the kind of parent we created MoMiMa's Parent + Baby Retreats for.
Come as you are. There’s no need to know anyone, be “good” at wellness or have everything together. Just bring yourself and your baby. We’ll take care of the rest.
Still have a question?
