momstown Oakville's Baby Basics Program

momstown Oakville runs a weekly Baby Basics program for moms with babies 0-12 months.  The group meets every Monday at ellephysio.  The focus of the group is to help moms connect with other moms who have babies in their community and to learn about resources and information available to them.  We regularly have speakers from the community who cover topics such as early literacy, health for mom and baby, fitness and the ever important sleep!

When I joined momstown Oakville three years ago, the Baby Basics group was the first thing I attended and became a staple for me each week.  I specifically remember a time when I'd had a rough night with my son and was so thankful that I had my baby group the next day!  Throwing on clothes probably from the day before and grabbing a latte on the way, I breezed into the room with dark circles under my eyes.  Why did I still want to go to the program so badly?  Because once I got there I immediately felt better.  I got sincere sympathy and empathy.  I heard stories of how that was them last week or how they just got through teething or a cold.  Finding support from other moms who were going through what I was going through was invaluable.  I am still in contact with several of the moms I met through that group and all of us now have a second child born around the same time which is pretty cool.

Over the last few months, our Baby Basics group has had a wide array of speakers and topics.
