New Papas!

Calling all new and expectant dads! We know parenthood can be a daunting new role that can conjure up all kinds of mixed emotions for dads. Fear not! At this new and exciting Homegrown Babies you will learn a lot about how awesome (and humorous and dirty) parenthood can be. Learn from a panel of veteran Papas:

  • How to handle your newborn
  • Changes in the new mama
  • Safety concerns
  • Work/Life balance
  • Breastfeeding/feeding the baby
  • Sleep
  • Sex and intimacy changes
  • Day­-to-­day routine (or lack thereof!)
  • Much more!

Bring your excitement, worry, fear, and questions. Expectant and new dads are welcome. This group will be facilitated by Brent Beam and a panel of amazing dads for fathers to be.

No topic is too big or too small.

Father with Courage meets every third Monday from 6 – 7:30 at Homegrown Babies on 201 Charlotte Street in Asheville. The group is free, but registration is required. Email brent@beamcounseling.com to register.

Baby Signs and Mother’s Circle Group

Join us for our weekly Mother’s Circle as we discuss the ups and downs of new motherhood, listen and respond to post partum questions, and get a great lesson from Jessica Sanders, sign language instructor, about baby sign basics.

When is the right time to start using sign language with your baby? What signs do you start with? What are the benfits of this type of communication? Come and find out.

This is a sliding scale group for mother’s facilitated by Kelly Larson Brown as well as other doulas from Homegrown Babies, Lisa Hicks (Registered Yoga Teacher and Holistic Health Counselor), and various other Mama’s in our village. Our donations for the month of May will benefit earthquake victims in Ecuador via UNICEF.

Jessica Sanders is a graduate of Gardner-Webb University (class of 2010) with a Bachelor of Arts in American Sign Language. She has been working with deaf students in Elementary schools for over five years. She has a one year old son who thinks it’s funny when Mommy signs. He knows a few words.
