Wonder what herbs are safe and effective during pregnancy? Do you want to treat your child holistically instead of using over the counter medicine?

December Meeting, 12/16/09
Our next meeting will be Weds, 12/16/09. We'll be discussing WORK/SEPARATION FROM BABY. It can be tough to be away from our babies, but sometimes life (or our sanity) require it. So, how do we ease this transition for ourselves and our babies? What can breastfeeding mamas do to maintain their milk supply? If you've been through it, come share your experiences with our group!
We'll also be having a FREE-CYCLE. Bring your unwanted maternity, baby, or totally unrelated items to the meeting and pass them on so they can be re-used. This is the perfect time of year to de-clutter! Whatever isn't taken at the meeting will be donated to charity.
