Get back into shape with Mommy and Baby Yoga

A time for mothers to nurture and be nurtured. You’ll be doing exercises both on your own and with your baby. These basic yoga movements include warm ups, abdominal/pelvic exercises, leg work & arm work, and relaxation - all done in a fun collaborative way. Babies are incorporated into the class both as observers and as active participants using soothing infant massage, songs and rhymes, and playful exercises.

The exercises in this yoga class will help you to:
- Tighten your core, alleviate lower back pain, and be closer to buttoning up your favorite pair of jeans
- Stretch & strengthen both your lower and your upper body
- Reduce postpartum depression and anxiety
- Have fun with your baby while getting your body back!

No prior yoga experience necessary. Mats provided (or bring your own!) Also bring a blanket and a few quiet toys for times when your baby prefers not to participate. Nursing, feeding, walking, bouncing, and crying are all normal activities in a Mommy & Baby class!

How do I clean my Medela pump tubing?

We get a lot of moms coming in asking about cleaning their Medela breastpump tubing , whether for the Symphony hospital-grade rental pump , the Medela Freestyle pump or for the personal-grade Pump In Style Advanced breastpump. One thing to note, milk shouldn't normally be going into your Medela tubing when you pump. If you see milk coming back into the tubing, make sure of two things: 1.

Second Decision - More Milk Plus vs. Special Blend - Both the More Milk Plus and the More Milk Special Blend contain fenugreek seed, blessed thistle, nettle, and fennel seed - all of which are galactagogue (or milk-increasing) herbs. The More Milk Plus works for most women whose milk supply has decreased due to growth spurts, separation, il...
