MAMAS
& MUFFINS is a free mothers group open to all new mamas and their
pre-crawling babies. Drop in anytime from 9 to 10am, have a muffin and
some tea, and enjoy chatting with other new moms. From 10am to 11, there
will be time for women to share their experiences, ask questions &
get support.
Christina
Kennedy, independent childbirth educator and mother of two, hosts the
group as a place for women to share the joys & challenges of new motherhood.
Sometimes
Christina or a guest speaker will present information on a specific topic,
like carseat safety or sleep issues. Upcoming topics include babywearing
demonstrations with a Moby Wrap, a fleece pouch, and a ring sling; a discussion
about introducing baby food and how to make your own baby food simply
and inexpensively; and guest speakers on play and parent engagement from
The Painted Horse and Parents as Teachers.
Join us on the 1st & 3rd Mondays of each month, from 9-11am, at Winthrop
United Methodist Church (58 Main Street in Winthrop), upstairs in the
nursery. While the church graciously hosts the space for this group,
we are not affiliated with the church in any way. Use the side Wonder
Awhile Nursery School entrance. Signs will be posted.
