Moms' Talk with Kristine Lauria

This is intended to be a recurring event on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, but the topics are new each time, either as open topics or guided by Kristine. If you have specific topics that you are interested, feel free to post a comment to the message board or send a note to Kristine directly (honeymother@gmail.com). The location will be TEENS Inc during the drop-in play time for kids. The center requires a $2/walking child fee for the play time. Kristine Lauria is the new midwife up here. She is a newborn specialist, lactation consultant and does postpartum doula care. She is not only fascinating, but very experienced and knowledgeable about birth, babies etc. She has over 20 years experience as a certified midwife in this country but also she has practiced internationally in Brazil, Guatemala, Indonesia (after the tsunami she was there doing relief work) and she has worked in refugee camps in wartorn African countries doing prenatal work, births and mother/infant care. Kristine has a wealth of knowledge about babies and has graciously agreed to facilitate a discussion and a playgroup with the kids can follow.
