Navigating Feeding, Sleep, and Life with a Newborn: Q&A & New Parent Social Hour

It’s Not Just About Breastfeeding, and while infant feeding can feel like such a learning curve, so can trying to make sense of a newborn and the tsunami of info that can be found on the internet and social media. Q & A + Play: Newborn Edition is a place to meet other local new moms and birthing parents, support and learn from each other and our similarities and differences, get your infant sleep, feeding questions, and baby behavior curiosities answered by a Board Certified Lactation Consultant + Sleep Educator or Certified Lactation Educator + Infant Development Expert, while enjoying a little tea or full-caff. coffee in our cozy center or our outdoor location. You can also check your baby’s weight on our sensitive baby-weight scale.

While we talk about whatever you need — partners, self-identity, unexpected challenges — we often talk about two key areas where things might not be as easy as you wish: infant & family sleep and ups and downs feeding your baby.

Each group is a little different — sometimes most moms have infants around the same age, others it’s a mix, sometimes it’s a small group, other times a full house – but each person comes to meet other moms, find the ‘sweet spots’ big and small, and to learn from each other, and the group facilitator. No question is too simple if it feels big for you!

We welcome those who are feeding babies at breast, chest, supplementing with donor milk or formula, mixed feeding, and/or pumping, babies who are co-sleeping, bedsharing, or crib sleeping, and parents who are trying to figure out their values and find their way.
