Next BirthWays New Moms Group

BirthWays New Mom’s Group – Starts Aug 23, 2016

This is a facilitated support group for new moms and their babies -(usually babies rage in age from 2 weeks to 4 months). We  gather to take some time to give back to yourself and share the intensity and joys of new motherhood with other moms.

This 6 week 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.

For a lot of moms this is an opportunity to practice getting out of the house and feeding and caring for your babies in public in a safe space.

NOTE: To create a safe, intimate space, registration for this class is reserved for mothers and their babies
