Who We Are

Life With a Baby was founded by a new mom facing social isolation, loneliness and PPMD symptoms.  LWAB is a group of parents who help other parents by sharing experiences, meeting with each other and organizing parent and baby Workshops, programs and events.  Even if parents do not have a good command of the English language, they can still benefit b/c we have a contact for the following languages: Russian, Filipino, Hindu, Punjabi, Hebrew, Ukrainian, French, Mandarin and more...  Join us and let us help you get the most out of this wonderful, but challenging journey of parenthood.

We firmly believe that the peer support programs and adult conversation will help to reduce the isolation and anxiety that most new moms face, and in turn reduce the likelihood of moms feeling alone and developing PPMD symptoms.  For moms who do face a PPMD, we believe that that just knowing that they are not alone and they can connect with other moms in similar situations will make a big difference in the severity of day to day symptoms.  There is a negative stigma associated with Postpartum Depression and we want to normalize the challenges new parents face so we can all get the most out of this wonderful Journey called Motherhood.
