Learn how to create a realistic new baby plan with the guidance and support of a local certified postpartum doula.  Understand what you can do to build your support system and enhance the early months home with a new baby. We’ll discuss what is normal/abnormal for a newborn, what new babies need from their caregivers, and practical ways to effectively meet these needs while also caring for oneself. We’ll also review some essential community resources and local connections for anyone caring for a baby. The Journey Into Parenthood Workshop will help prepare you for the transition to parenting a new baby! We encourage participants to linger for conversation and refreshments after the workshop.
