Next Meeting: November 19, 2008
Our next meeting is Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Join us as we discuss:
What Babies Want.
Babies are aware and able to respond. However, babies and children are not treated in our society as if they function on the same level as adults. Actually they are probably more aware than adults. Babies understand if they are wanted or not, they feel fear, rejection, and all this affects how their brains develop and their sense of self-esteem. We all have our own births to work through as well. If babies experience some problem or separation during the birth, they will tell you their story if you are open to it.
As always, we welcome all babies and mamas. We love to hear birth stories and help you find answers to your questions. Hope to see you at the next meeting!
