"I initially ordered a copy of "The First 8 Days of Being a Mom" as a resource to add to my lending library. However upon receiving it, I realized that I had an AMAZING resource in my hands, one that is a must have for every expectant parent. I plan to share "The First 8 Days of Being a Mom" with all of my clients, as I believe that it is an invaluable resource, and will help to relieve a lot of stress surrounding the first days of being home with a new baby!"

NewMomsConnect is an 8-week, expert-led education and support group for first time mothers and their babies (from 0 – 6 months old). The goal of the workshop is to provide education and support to help women feel more confident and secure in their role as mothers and to better connect to their babies. Additionally, the program connects new or first time mothers with other first time mothers in their regional areas or neighborhoods, and encourages the development of lasting friendships and support that will endure long after the group has ended. Facilitated by a family and child development expert, the group provides education on infant development (e.g, infant-mother attachment) and parenting issues (e.g., impact of baby on the marriage, parenting styles, work/family life balance).
