Activities to Do with Your Baby/Child

Pregnancy and postpartum are times of learning, adjustment, integration, and transformation. Parenting is an experience for which we receive little training and preparation yet it can be the most challenging, rewarding and intense experience of our lives. It truly takes a village of support for a family to thrive in this transition. Below are area activities to do with your baby to both learn something new, get involved in the community, meet other parents, or to simply venture out for fresh air.
