Posted on February 13, 2013 by admin

Stacia will be starting a new Support Group for New Moms at BirthWays on March first.
It will be 6 Fridays from 12:30-2:00pm.

Here is the description from the website:

Take some time to give back to yourself and share the intensity and joys of
new motherhood with other moms. This 6 week facilitated series will cover
such topics as: sharing birth stories, finding time to heal your body and
mind, feeding your baby, adjusting to your new identity as a parent,
trusting yourself enough to know when not to listen to another piece of
“good” advice, navigating changing relationships with partners and friends,
going out with your baby, preparing to go back to work or stay home with
baby, sleep… what sleep? And most importantly, realizing that you are not
alone in this journey.

Nursing in Public Hotline, from Best for Babes

Moms continue to report harassment when breastfeeding in public.

The recently-launched Best for Babes Nursing in Public (NIP) hotline is the place to report and record NIP incidents. When breastfeeding moms call 855-NIP-FREE (855-647-3733), hotline volunteers work to help them understand their rights, navigate through the situation, and suggest ways to approach the offending institution.
