Congrats, you’ve survived the first few months, and now you marvel at all of your baby’s new milestones.
From smiling, cooing, learning to roll-over, and grasp objects, your baby is constantly growing and changing.
Kangas offers support and advice, as baby is busy developing and discovering the world around them.
We will discuss sleep expectations, introducing solid foods, baby-proofing, and growth and developmental milestones.
We will incorporate an interactive circle-time with songs and age appropriate games.
You can ask questions, share tips and ideas, and socialize while bonding with your baby.

About the Facilitator | Vanessa Thornton
Vanessa is a South End mom of two, Fiona (5) and James (3).
She has a master’s degree in nutrition and has been a dietitian and certified specialist in pediatrics for 12 years.
Vanessa is the owner of South End Family Nutrition, helping parents and families on the path to health and happiness.
She teaches virtual classes on Tinyhood and runs groups and workshops all around the city for parents, children and entire families.
Vanessa realized early in her career two very important things: 1) You can’t treat nutrition issues in a vacuum.
Instead, you have to explore sleep habits, mental health, physical wellbeing and emotional security to truly find health and 2) That the wellness of family members is always interconnected.
For this reason, she considers herself a Family Dietitian and takes a holistic, whole-family approach to health.
She enjoys supporting parents in group settings to be able to witness the magic moments when moms find connection and learn from each other.

Other Things to Note:
• Parent groups meeting for 90 minutes, 6 weeks in a row.
• Postnatal classes are designed for a primary caregiver to attend with a young infant rather than for couples (we want to ensure there is space to be really honest about how motherhood has affected your own identity and your relationships!).
• That being said, we celebrate the fact that families grow in many ways and if you have any questions about whether a postnatal support group is a good fit for you, please reach out to vanessa@littlelovageclub.com.
