New Mothers Gathering Support Group

Our newest Mothers' Gathering "Mommy & Me" group is going to be starting in two weeks! New moms with babies born in Dec '10 and Jan '11 will be meeting on Mondays from 1-2:30pm. The first 8-week session will start on February 28th.

These classes are so wonderful for new moms! You get together with about 10 other moms who are all going through the exact same ups and downs, plus your expert instructor leads you through developmental topics, songs & music, and play & exercise activities. The best part is the open discussion time to answer all of your questions - everything from "How do I get my baby to sleep better?" to "When should I be starting solid foods?" to "My emotions are all over the place - what can I do to feel saner??"

Moms on our Facebook page have said that the Mothers' Gathering class was the "best thing I ever did!"

Our YouTube Debut - Medela Symphony Breast Pump

We're starting video series to explain common questions that new moms have.  Our first video is about how to put together all of the pump parts for your Medela Symphony hospital-grade pump - from the membrane caps, to the tubing, to the breastshields and bottles.  All those little parts can be a bit confusing, especially when you're a sleep-deprived new mom!  So watch the video and see how everything fits together!



We rent out the Medela Symphony hospital-grade pumps on a weekly or monthly basis. Rental pumps are only $75 per month. We also sell the Medela personal-grade double electric pumps (the Pump-In-Style Backpack, the Pump-In-Style Shoulder Bag, the Pump-In-Style Metro Bag, and the Freestyle hands-free pump), as well as all of the extra parts, tubing, bottles, freezer bags, etc. Whatever questions you have about your pump, come on in and we'll help you out! :-)

If you have more questions about milk supply, how to manage pumping & going back to work, etc, come in for our Breastfeeding & Pumping Support Group on Tuesday mornings at 10:30am. Only $10 for drop-in!



We're also going to be making some videos about how to use the different baby carriers (Moby Wrap, Ergo, BECO, Baby K'Tan, etc).  If you have any other questions that are easier explained through demonstration, comment below and we'll add it to our video series!
