Pregnant? New mom? You’ll want to join me on November 1st at the Brooklyn BabyFEST in Greenpoint (Brooklyn). This one-day expo is packed with all the newest products, tips and seminars to help you ease into parenthood. It’s amazing how fast the parenting industry changes – things I thought were innovative when Maximo was born are now ancient! Gah!
Here’s what to expect at the Brooklyn BabyFEST:
1. Exhibitors showcasing their products (and free demos!) right in front of you.
If you’ve ever walked into Babies and been overwhelmed, this is your dream. See and taste organic baby treats, learn about strollers for city living, or even how to rent a car to get that milk at 2 am from Zipcar. Find and meet all the local kids classes – including Mommy and me yoga! Meet some of the best local brands and vendors that you’ll become very good friends with as your child grows in the city like Well Rounded NYC!
2. Seminars and Demos:
There are some really great seminars this year – including one for the dads:
– New Dad Boot Camp Workshop
– Plan for Postpartum
– Preschool 411
– Getting Around the City: Babywearing & Baby Gear with Adriane Stare of Caribou Baby & Jessica Glorieux, Brooklyn BabyFEST
– *Intro to Baby Massage
– Flexercise: How Even a Little Workout Can Go a Long Way to Make a Happy Mama
3. Meet other parents just like you in the area!
This is the most important – every parent needs a friend going through the same transition, and this is the best place to find them! Bring little notes or a pen so you can exchange your number or email for playdates or strolls in the park. It will be a lifesaver!
Grab Tickets (or enter to join me for free!):
You can grab tickets online for as low as $15 here in advance ($55 with gift bag!) – or enter to win one of four tickets I am giving away below!
