This group is for the new mom to meet and feel connected with other local moms in a safe, clean and nurturing environment while having the expertise of a developmental educator to lead the group into discussions about the many unexpected physical demands, emotional challenges and humorous moments in being a new parent. Topics cover breastfeeding, fitness and nutrition, sleep and feeding for the whole family, childcare and getting back to work or staying home. Members will learn natural, self-care practices to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety commonly experienced in early motherhood. The support doesn’t end after six weeks. The Tulip Grove wants your new group to stay connected and to benefit from the seasoned mothers from previous support groups. * Bring your baby with you to group!
