About three years ago I found myself living in the Chicagoland area with a newborn and no mommy friends! We had moved to the area for my husband's job and both of our families lived in Louisiana. Luckily, I stumbled upon New Mother New Baby when I sought out Gail for lactation help. She not only helped me with nursing, but introduced me to her store which turned out to be exactly what I needed! I joined a mommy and me group and it was SO therapeutic! All the moms had babies around my son's age and were dealing with the same issues I was facing... feeding questions, sleeping questions, fussiness, etc. I had no idea how badly I needed to connect to other mothers! The class environment was welcoming and relaxed. You could bottle feed or breast feed your baby during the class, change a diaper, etc. This made it easy for a new mother like myself to get out the house without having to worry about things like feedings and diapers changes in a public area. I am so grateful to Gail and New Mother New Baby for helping me find my mommy friends. We met at NMNB every week and also outside of class. Three years later, and these are still some of my closest friends. I would highly recommend NMNB to any new mom! Thank you Gail for everything!!!-Ashley H.__________________________________________________________________________
