Have a question about bathing?  Wondering how to access breastfeeding support with a Lactation Consultant? Looking to expand your strategies for calming your newborn? Searching for other programming within the city and not sure where to start?  Researching ideas for books on particular parenting topics or just looking for other parents to connect with? Join in with the following Zoom link on every Monday afternoon in January ( 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31) from 1-2pm.
