This is a great way to meet other new moms going through the same challenges as you are. We will discuss a new topic each week. Some of our topics will include sleep issues for babies and moms, travel with baby, starting solids, infant massage, babywearing, taking care of a sick baby, teething, tummy time , taking care of yourself and your marriage and much more.
I hope you can join us for this class. It has been a favorite for the past 15 years!
The class will meet in Northbrook either at New Mother New Baby or weather permitting outdoors at a nearby park.
Instructor: Gail Macklin BSN RN IBCLC
Guest speaker: Caity Fargo from Little Bean Sleep Co.

This class changed my life in the best possible way. I gained friendships, wisdom, and confidence as a new mom. Lesley is such a sweet soul and guided us all with respect and compassion. I’ll never forget this amazing 6 weeks of my life and although it’s such a vulnerable period, having the love and support of the women at New Mother New Baby and the fellow moms in my class made all the difference. I can’t recommend this class enough!

As a new mom, the first 6 weeks I was really struggling emotionally. I googled mommy groups because I knew I needed to get out of the house. I’m very shy and meeting new people is very hard for me but I knew for my sanity I needed to connect with others going through what I was going through. This group gave me exactly what I needed: a chance to get out of the house, meet wonderful ladies and their new babies, an expert in all things babies to ask questions (Gail was an amazing instructor) and a group of ladies to continue a friendship even after the group was over! Everyone was so open and nonjudgmental! I would recommend this class to any new or even second time mommies!

I’ve done this group twice now (one for each child) and love it! Great way to meet fellow moms. I recommend it to every new mom I know!

Excellent class, highly recommended. New Mother New Baby has a great atmosphere with excellent people. This is a laid back yet informative group. Taking a class with other new moms was exactly what I needed, and I think I made some lifelong friends in the process.

This class is well worth the cost! It served as an excellent support group of women going through the same thing and bouncing ideas and experiences off each other. It's a very open non-judgmental environment and an excellent way to get tips and ask questions you may not feel comfortable asking others. We've even continued the group on our own after the formal class session. I highly recommend it.
