Happy February!
Ottawa is experiencing a warm stretch after a particularly cold January. We hope you have had an opportunity to get outside to enjoy the start of Winterlude and our beautiful walking trails.
With shifting and changing services and supports for new families we would like to offer you a FREE weekly Q & A every Monday afternoon in January from 1-2 pm to address all your baby-related questions. Log in on Zoom to meet with Lilly who will have a cup of tea in hand and will be ready for all your questions.
Lilly started out as a birth doula and then became a midwife after graduating from McMaster University. After leaving midwifery practice she transitioned into childbirth education and new parent coaching. Lilly taught prenatal classes for a few years at the Ottawa Hospital and then in 2019, she joined the Ottawa Childbirth Education Association and has been very happy to be part of a wonderful family of teachers ever since.

Are you getting ready to start solids and feeling overwhelmed with the possibility of choking? Did you know that the baby's gag reflex is in a different location in their mouth, which is what causes them to gag so frequently as they start to eat new tastes and textures? Come join us for 2 hours to address Baby Led Weaning, choking prevention, baby proofing and CPR. CPR on February 14 or 22 - Register here |
From the whole team at OCEA,
