In the past 20 years, the baby gear market has exploded.
This is a pretty funny cartoon from the NY Magazine: The caption is, “I just worry that we won’t be able to provide the same level of crap that our parents gave us.”

Dads in class
Here are some photos from an Oakland class last fall when the Dad attendance topped all records. Thank you to all families for attending together and solo.
A Favorite Blog
One of my favorite blogs to read comes out of UC Davis.
As they say, “Starting a new family can be a wonderful yet stressful experience. Newborns, and even older babies, can seem mysterious and taking care of them may be a little scary. Fortunately, babies are born with the skills and desire to tell parents what they need. In this blog, experienced moms (who happen to be experts) will help parents understand why babies behave the way they do and share tips to help parents cope with the ups and downs of this new and exciting time of life.”
New Mama/Baby Hiking Group Starting
Oh Baby Let’s Hike with Jessica Damon from Wingspan Movement and Wellness
Mondays 11:30am-1pm
Wear your sweet progeny for an invigorating, centering hike in the beautiful hills of Oakland and Berkeley. This class meets at various locations in the East Bay hills. We’ll congregate in the staging area, lay out some blankets for the babes as we do a 15 minute warm-up (to allow for latecomers), then strap those beans on for an hour long hike that incorporates stretching, strengthening, and postural exercises along the way. Hikes will be followed by an optional picnic lunch. Bring a baby carrier of your choice (two shoulder straps preferred), good shoes with tread, a hat and sunscreen for you and your babe, and lunch if you so desire. Call or email Jessica for this week’s location – 415.418.8357 or jessica@wingspanmovement.com
