About this event

A new baby can feel incredible, and also overwhelming and isolating. The great news: you don't have to do it alone. Join us for a relaxed, welcoming hour of conversation and connection with other new parents navigating the early months with a little one. Share stories, ask questions, swap tips, and build community. Come as you are (spit-up and all). This program is designed for parents and their babies under one year old. Held at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on the Upper West Side.
