Becoming a new mom was the most exhilarating, exhausting, and intense journey I’d ever experienced. What I found I needed most was a sense of community, which is what this group offers. Meeting up, learning from, and laughing with other new mothers helps turn an uncertain and potentially scary time into a shared adventure. Renee makes everyone comfortable, and is a reassuring and knowledgeable guide for new moms – Ellie

FAQS
Do I bring my baby to the group?
Babies are welcome! Moms registered for our New Moms Groups have babies from one week to twelve weeks. If you decide you'd rather leave your baby at home so you can take a break, that's okay too. Do what works best for you each week.
How accessible is the space for strollers? Are there any stairs?
Our locations are very mom friendly, no stairs or tight spaces to navigate. Feel free to bring your stroller, or if you are more comfortable with a baby carrier, that's okay too. Whatever works best for you and your baby each week.
What if I have to miss a session?
No worries - do what you can to make it each week, and if you miss a session, we'll loop you in with the notes. It's about getting the support, resources, and connections and beyond. Much of the support is what happens between the groups. One of the best parts? Making lasting friendships with so many supportive NYC moms!
Do you prorate for missed sessions?
We don't prorate our support groups for missed sessions as it's about connecting with a great group of moms and getting six weeks (and beyond) of support, resources, and friendships.
The group's facilitator emails follow-up notes between sessions so you don't miss any of the conversations and resources and you'll be able to hop back in the following week.
