JNew to Two (or More!) Moms Group
Tuesday, February 4, 2020 9:45 AM - Tuesday, March 10, 2020 11:15 AM
With the birth of each baby we become “new” mothers all over again, making both literal and figurative space for another infant as we adapt to the changing dynamics of a growing family. The JNew to Two (or More) Moms Group provides an opportunity for mothers who have recently welcomed their second (or third, fourth, etc.) baby to share openly about the rewards and challenges of caring for multiple children, while also enjoying protected time for self-care and bonding with their newborns. Professionally-facilitated weekly discussions help spark meaningful connections between participants while addressing relevant topics such as infant care, supporting older children as they transition to big siblinghood, meeting the needs of kids at different developmental levels, appreciating each child as an individual, and recalibrating the balance of parenthood, work and relationships within our evolving identities. This group is for mothers with their newborns ages 0-6 months and welcomes women from both Jewish and Interfaith families.
