Friends and family are checking in frequently about the status of mom to be.  Meanwhile you’re busy preparing your home by painting or rearranging a room to accommodate a changing table and other sizable, “must-have” items.  Perhaps you find yourself noticing different stroller brands, cribs, swings and a host of other baby products that you’re pretty sure your parents never used when you were a child.

Have you and your spouse formed a birth plan for the delivery?  Is paternity leave an option?  How will you handle a baby that might not sleep well?  Can you assist with breastfeeding and bottle preparation?  These are questions all expecting parents begin to ask themselves.  Yet where do you fall in this shuffle?  What’s expected of you as a father?  Surely it’s more than the stereotypical lesson on how to ride a bike.  As gender roles continue to play less and less a role at home and in the workplace, dad’s are finally being recognized as shared caregivers with equal voices in parenting.  In this workshop we’ll discuss baby products, your birth plan, the first three months of your child’s life as well as the evolving role of fathers.

Baby Movers Open Play Space will get children ages 6 months to 2 years out of the cold and moving. A teacher will lead babies and their caregivers through movement exercises using fun music and interactive objects. Babies will learn coordination and rhythm to assist in development.

All Urbanity Baby for Active Dads classes are held at Urbanity Balance, 111 W. Concord Street in Boston’s South End.

Congratulations you did it!  Well she did, but you were right by her side.  Now you’re all home and the real journey has just begun.  The first 3 months of parenthood can be extremely fulfilling, yet challenging at times for not only the baby or new mom but for new dads as well.  This class is an opportunity to:

-find your place in this new equation
-bond with your baby
-adjust to the ever changing reality of fatherhood
-find ways to help mom during this time
-decompress
-and share your experience in a fun, relaxed and supportive environment with fellow fathers and their newborns.

Nothing is off limits during these sessions.  We will discuss everything from swaddling to sleep deprivation, shared caregiving to career adjustments.  The role of the father is evolving right before our eyes and as dads we’re on the frontline of the most significant mission one could face -raising another human being.  So bring your bundle of joy (and noise) and let’s navigate this stage together.  We will learn, grow and be lead by our common desire to be the best father’s we can be.  Moms are irreplaceable.  Fathers are too.
