Me with Birch and Willow when she is 3 days old
Are you pregnant or a new parent? There’s a lot to think about: birth options: a doula, midwife, which hospital, postpartum doulas, products, daycare, nannies (how to find them), best pediatricians, lactation consultants and more. Argh- it’s enough to create a minor panic attack.
So, that’s where we come in. I, Chana from babybites Brooklyn and Jada from Birth Day Presence, will take you on an hour and a half ride to give you as much information as you can take! We will answer any and all of your questions and help you put your mind at ease. Navigating having a baby in Brooklyn is doable! Lights snacks will be served. Dads are definitely encouraged to attend- and most do come. We look forward to seeing you and your beautiful bumps there!
Every mom in attendance will take home a special gift from Avent AND a comprehensive resource list that contains tons of valuable information for new parents, authored by one of our esteemed panelists, Karen Connell of A Child Grows in Brooklyn.
One lucky mom will take home a special gift from Mama Mio, valued at $85.
