Join Andrea and other parents with newborns to gather in an empathetic, evidence-based, non-judgmental, supportive space which welcomes families of all kinds.  The goals of this group are to create community among parents who are experiencing the joys alongside the exhaustion of parenting a newborn, to offer evidence-based information to inform your parenting decisions, to provide practical and emotional support to parents during the vulnerable postpartum period and to instill in parents a feeling of calm and confidence when making choices for their families.
