📣 New Group starting Tuesday, September 9 at 1pm!

From Newborn to Next Steps: Meet-Up for Moms with Growing Babies (4 Months+)

Your baby is growing—and so are their needs. If you've been attending our weekly parent meet-up, this next-step group is designed just for you.

From Newborn to Next Steps is a supportive, weekly group for mothers of babies 4 months and older. As your little one moves beyond the sleepy newborn phase into a more alert, active infant stage, feeding routines, sleep patterns, development, and your own identity as a parent all begin to shift. This group is a space to explore those changes together.

Facilitated by Kate McMahon, IBCLC, topics may include:
👉Evolving feeding goals and schedules (breast/chestfeeding, pumping, bottles, combo feeding)
👉Signs of readiness for solids
👉Sleep changes and developmental leaps
👉Tummy time, play, and supporting motor development
👉Navigating the return to work or changing routines
👉Maintaining connection with your baby, your partner —and yourself!

Come as you are. Bring your questions and your baby. Whether you’re seeking guidance or just need community, you belong here.

🫶 “No one told me…” — Real Talk from New Parents

“No one told me breastfeeding would be so emotional. I thought it was just about milk—but it’s so much more than that.”

The early weeks of parenthood can be beautiful, overwhelming, surprising, and isolating—all at once. And often, no one talks about the hard or unexpected parts until you're already in it.

At The Village, we believe in sharing the real stories—so you know you’re not alone.

Whether you're struggling with feeding, feeling out of sync with yourself, or just need a place to say "me too," we’re here.

✨ We offer support support groups, lactation consultations, and a caring community that gets it.

💭 What’s something YOU wish someone had told you about new parenthood?
Drop it in the comments—we’re listening. 💜

🌅August at The Village: A Season of Slowing Down

August tends to be a little quieter around here—and we welcome it 💜

At The Village, we believe in the rhythm of the seasons, and August is our time to pause, rest, and reconnect. Many of our instructors and providers take this month to slow down, spend precious time with their families, and recharge before the busyness of the fall returns.

We know this slower pace might mean fewer classes and appointments on the calendar—but it also means space to breathe. To be present. To just be with your baby, yourself and your loved ones.

Whether you're soaking up summer snuggles, counting kicks on the couch, or taking some much-needed naps of your own—know we’re right there with you. 💫

We'll be back in full swing come September—with fresh offerings, familiar faces, and a renewed energy to support your journey.

Until then, take it slow. You deserve it. 🫶
