A safe and non-judgmental space for moms to gather and share, ask, and grow together! The group is for parents with babies up to the age of 7-8 months (prior to crawling). Most babies come with mom but if your little one is elsewhere you are welcome to come.
Top reasons moms join this group:
-
Enjoy a cup of coffee/tea and have conversations with other adults!
-
Form friendships and develop new playgroups with those in the local area.
-
It is a valuable lifeline for new mothers, where education, resources, and skill building are offered on various issues including sleep, eating, breastfeeding, family, and healthcare.
The small groups are facilitated and guided by Jane Hendry, BS, IBCLC, CCE who has been supporting women for the last 13 years.
Now she will support you as a New Mom!
