Birth Matters
Moms will mingle for a bit, ask any questions they may have about parenting and/or lactation and then we'll get started with the class. Birth Matters will go through all the styles of slings out there, talk about what ages for which they are appropriate and then demo how to use them. At the close, moms can come up wi...th their own slings for a personal lesson and/or try on any of ours to see if it's something they'd like.
The class is scheduled at Lutheran Hospital for Tuesday, November 3rd from 9:15-11:15 am on the lower level (follow signs to the cafeteria) in Special Functions rooms 1 and 2.
