Are you pregnant, or the caregiver of a newborn? We're hosting a Journey Into Parenthood workshop on Saturday, November 9 from 10:30-1:30 at the Aldrich Library in Barre.
In this free-of-charge workshop you'll learn tips on newborn care, the benefits of babywearing, how to create a realistic postpartum support plan, and much more. We'll discuss what is normal/abnormal for a newborn, what new babies need from their caregivers, and practical ways to effectively meet these needs while also caring for oneself. We'll also review some essential community resources and local connections for anyone caring for a baby.
Free to attend! Sign up here: https://www.goodbeginningscentralvt.org/46038-2/?et_fb=1&PageSpeed=off
