I would love to have a great turn-out, and it would help,
if you would register in advance.
LINK to register
The price is the same as a single class ($18) or one class
on your class card. If you find that day-of, you cannot attend,
you will be un-registered.
Mama Bears Picnic is our social/educational get together for
new mothers and their babies, newborn thru pre-crawl.
No yoga involved….but bring your lunch or snack and enjoy
a cozy gathering of the clan.
Arrive anytime after 2:30 to join the group and benefit from
Carolina’s professional offering.
I am so happy to have found her, as this has been a subject
requested by many people.
We would also like to bring this to a Saturday workshop format,
and wonder whom amoungst you are interested in that, and which dates
in April might work.
Please write back with your thoughts on that, and do pre-register for
next Wednesday’s event.
See you there!

May 18th: A Special Educational Event in conjunction with Mount Sinai Doctors of Brooklyn Heights
BABY SKIN CARE
 |
| SKIN: It's how we contact the world outside, and how the world contacts us Mama Bears Picnic is happy to announce an extremely valuable presentation on May 18th BABY SKIN CARE |
Arrive with your baby, newborn thru pre-crawl anytime after 2pm to AREA YOGA, 144 Montague St and settle into some nice chill and chat with other local new mothers. Then, at 3pm, Dr. Stephen Turner MD, Pediatrician and Medical Director of
Mount Sinai Doctors, 300 Cadman Plaza West, will join our group to discuss Baby Skin Care.
Dr. Turner will address topics such as: Diaper Rash, Cradle
Cap, Infant Acne, Insect Bites, Sun Protection, Eczema, Rashes Associated with
Illnesses, and more.
As new mothers, we welcome
all opportunities to educate ourselves to our baby’s medical needs. Often,
education comes during that acute phase, when concern is devoted to re-establishing
baby’s well- being. An emotional time, when many questions are asked and time
is at a premium. Dr Turner’s presentation will illuminate the nature of many
infant dermatological situations for you before they happen. He will
distinguish between the normal and the attention requiring. You will gain a
better understanding of your baby’s skin, and how to protect and maintain
healthy skin qualities and function. Dr. Turner is a longtime Brooklyn Heights
resident. He is the director of the beautiful comprehensive facilities at Mount Sinai Doctors Brooklyn Heights, where he also practices pediatric medicine. Dr.
Turner, himself, is a concerned father and welcomes this opportunity to lend
his support to the new mothers and babies of our community. We hope you will
join us!

We Now Have A Class for Moms and Crawlers!
Doors open at 10:30 for an easy settle-in and a class start of 11:00am.
Our first get-together had 3 moms and 4 BabyBears. Highlight of the day: When that precious one year old in the left of the photo used a block under her belly and did a full free floating boat! No lie, I shed a tear!
Everyone had a barrel of fun. We have room for 8 mothers and their brood. We would love to see you!

Motherhood Can Be Stressful.....Mindfullness to the Rescue!
Tuesday, September 15, 2015
Lactation Consultant, September 16th
Lea Todaro, is our resident Lactation Consultant.
She is loving, wise, and experienced enough to be a national treasure! When she visits us at Mama Bears she answers all questions from the group and takes time to individually check in. Questions include everything about breastfeeding, latching on, schedules, pumping, supplementing, using bottles, and introducing solids. Sometimes a good latch requires a palette feel. Or maybe you'd would like to know how much milk your baby has received in a feeding. Let's use the scale. Come with your baby, your questions, and/or any equipment you would like checked out.
Lea's in the
house!!!

Today April 1st
BABY BELLY DANCING! at Mama Bears Picnic: Wednesday!
This
week, April 1st, we will have a special treat!
Baby
Belly Dancing with Julia Arenson.
Julia
is a jewel chest of talents. In addition to teaching yoga and prenatal yoga,
and being a practicing birth doula, Julia is a trained and beautiful belly
dancer. She is the source of an original workshop, “Dancing To Delivery”, and
now brings her creativity to Mama Bears Picnic.
Beginning
at about 2:30pm Julia will teach and lead a gentle circle of Mama Belly
Dancing. With babes in arms, or worn in
their
carriers Julia will teach us the basic movements of Middle Eastern Dance. Since
so much is expressed with the hips and pelvis, you and baby will enjoy the
rocking and swirling motions, flowing to the music. Belly Dancing is great exercise
and will add to your postpartum recovery. It is particularly good for freeing
up the back, neck, pelvis and wrists, as well as strengthening the core. Bring
a colorful scarf, or use one of ours.
And
let’s have some rollicking good fun! The babies will love the hoopla, groove
with move, and enjoy the special surprises we have in store for them!
We
will have ample time for chatting and connecting, making this quite the
afternoon.
Bring
baby (newborn thru pre-crawl), your lunch or snack, and all the two of you
would need for the afternoon out.
We
are nursing and bottle friendly.
BabyWearing
preferred, some stroller space available.
$20/or
contribution of your choice

March 25th: Is Your Baby Ready For Solids? Your Nursing and Feeding Questions Answered!
This
week, our guest will be Lactation Consultant and Baby Feeding Expert, Lea Todaro, who will field any questions or concerns you may have with nursing,
bottlefeeding, pumping, and introducing solid foods. As she will be here for
the afternoon, I have asked her to address the topic of Solid Food. This
presentation will begin about 3pm. In the hour before (2-3pm) Lea will hold
q&a about nursing, bottle and pumping. Lea is a gem! Not only is she
knowledgable and experienced, she is charming, grounded, and nurturing.
 |
| Lea Todaro (middle) has years of lactation consulting experience both in the home and hospital setting |
Lea
knows all the ins and outs. Pun intended. Also, bring anything with you that
you would like inspected or explained, such as the pump you just got. This will
be a most educational picnic indeed!
