Baby Steps
Welcome to OCEA's Tuesday morning new parent group! Bring your baby, a warm drink, snack, and come to meet new friends!
This new parent group will run on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-11 for eight weeks. Each week we discuss a different topic around life with a newborn. This group is geared toward families with babies from 0-6 months. Topics will be reflective of each group's needs and may include any of the following:
- Getting out and about with a newborn: sharing ideas of fun, easy outings with your newborn
- Finding and creating time-saving strategies as a new parent
- Family adjustments: setting gentle boundaries with loved ones, and managing expectations from friends and family.
- Days with our newborns: sharing ideas and suggestions for setting a nice rhythm to our days
- Sleep and naps: let's share our sleep wins and challenges!
- Open question week: Bring your questions and let's discuss and brainstorm some ideas
- Planning family meals: meal prep is an ongoing task, as support during the "5-7 pm shift" and so much more.
- Baby wearing: bring your carriers, let's try them on and make adjustments
Baby Steps will be facilitated by Michelle Morra, an OCEA prenatal educator, postpartum doula and parent to five. Michelle's calm approach to gentle parenting and supportive care towards new parents will make this a wonderful, non-judgemental, safe group. Michelle looks forward to welcoming you and your baby in the fall!
