New Moms Group Starting At BirthWays
Tuesdays 2-3:30 pm
May 10-June 14 2016
According to Sara L on Yelp this is the “BEST MOMS GROUP EVER!! Fantastic facilitator, wonderful women, we’re still hanging out months later. This group will save your sanity.”
This is a facilitated support group for new moms and their babies -(usually babies rage in age from 2 weeks to 4 months). We will gather at the BirthWays space to 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.
Brooke on Yelp says this: “I took a Birthways new mom class that started when my son was just two weeks old. It was such an amazing experience to be with about 12 or so other new moms going through the same things I was going through. I learned a lot about breastfeeding, sleeping issues, massage, and much more for my son, but also self-care for me. It’s been three years and our group still keeps in touch. I feel a deep connection to those kids, too. When I see those little guys at the Y or around town I think back to those early sleep-deprived days and actually miss it. Birthways is such a great supportive environment. Highly recommended!!”
