NORWAY – Meeting Other Moms will meet every week on the second Thursday of each month at the Fare Share Commons, 443 Main St. MOM’s gatherings follow a weekly schedule through May 28 (except holiday weeks). A $2 donation is requested for the use of the space.

Moms, babies, siblings, expectant moms and their family and friends are welcome to talk about mothering concerns and share in celebrations. The meetings provide mothers with safe space and positive role models to help develop self-confidence as women and mothers, and expand their parenting skills. Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it is not instinctive. Meeting other moms who are breastfeeding can be helpful and reassuring.

The meetings are facilitated by Marty Elkin, RN, a certified lactation consultant who has had many years experience as an educator for maternity nursing for student nurses. She has been assisting mothers and babies with breastfeeding for many years. She has been providing lactation services independently since January 2003.
