Here is a summary about the group:
*Oakland Mom2Mom is a 6 week facilitated group which focuses on
helping new moms build a community and meet other moms with babies with
similar ages. The friendships that are formed are really quite amazing and
most groups continue to meet for years to come on an informal basis. There
is something about going through a shared experience, while recognizing
that each mom’s experience is unique, that leads to great connection
and support. We have found that moms are often most grateful for the
perspective they gain from talking to other moms.
The 6 week facilitated portion is a weekly 2 hour meeting where moms share
their experiences, questions, concerns, and get tips on all sorts of
topics, since this can be quite an overwhelming time for many moms.
The moms all bring their babies, and so we also talk about how to connect
with infants. We also provide psycho-education (as wanted) on different
topics including infant development, sleep/feeding questions, changes in
relationships and family dynamics, transition to motherhood, feelings re:
going back to work or not, postpartum health, and identity as a mom.
The group offers lots of support and perspective that can be especially
helpful after some sleepless nights!*
