  The Newborn Connection is a weekly meet up for mothers to connect and feel supported as they navigate the early months of new parenthood. This nonjudgemental group is a safe space for parents to share in the joys and struggles of their new life, ask questions about feeding and caring for their baby and get advice from experts in various fields of expertise.  This group is intended for all new mothers (first time or otherwise) and their non-mobile infants.

  
  

  This group is led by Kaleigh Daigle, a certified Labor and Postpartum Doula, Infant Care Specialist and Certified Lactation Counselor. Kaleigh is a mom of two young boys and experienced first hand the powerful impact of support during the postpartum period after attending a new mom's group when she first became a mother.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  About the Instructor

  Kaleigh Daigle has always felt drawn to the world of pregnancy, birth and new life, even from a young age. She was born and raised in Ipswich, Massachusetts and attended The College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina where she received her degree in Communications. She lives in North Reading, Massachusetts with her husband and two sons.

  
  

  While birth had always fascinated Kaleigh, she was terrified of experiencing it herself. When she became pregnant with her first child in 2015 she decided to make the most of the experience. Through research, reading countless birth stories, completing a HypnoBirthing Course and with the support of a doula, Kaleigh was able to have a beautiful birth experience of her own. In the postpartum period she found unbiased emotional support in a new mom’s group as she adjusted to motherhood. These experiences were life changing and reignited her passion for birth and for supporting others. Kaleigh knew then she wanted to become a doula.

  
  

  In 2016, Kaleigh attended both a Labor and Postpartum & Infant Care Doula training with ProDoula and began her career as a doula. Over the past two years she has had the honor of helping many families welcome their child to the world and adjust to parenthood in a caring and supported way as a labor and postpartum & infant care doula. Kaleigh has also trained to become a Certified Lactation Counselor, Postpartum Placenta Specialist and Certified HypnoBirthing Educator with North Shore Doula Co.

  
  

  Kaleigh has learned that each family has their own way of parenting, feeding, birthing and raising their children, but in the end all parents love their children unconditionally. She takes pride in and enjoys supporting each family as they make their way into parenthood in the way that feels best to them.

  About Me: Amy Cieslik Mena
  
  A former competitive collegiate athlete, I have worked exclusively full time in the fitness industry for over 15 years. My degree in Exercise Physiology launched me into certifications in personal training, Pilates, barre, spinning, trx and Pound. While I love all forms of fitness, both high intensity and low, for me Pilates is the backbone behind it all. Developing and maintaining a truly strong core keeps me injury free no matter what else I do including my newest adventure: Motherhood - coming in September!

  Speech & Language Development Q&A: Ages 2+ years old
  
  Is it difficult to understand your child when they speak? Are you worried about their communication skills when it comes to their speech? Debra Goldman and Lisa Roland from Speech Matters will answer any questions you have about your child's speech and language development. 
  

  
  

  TMC is excited to be offering virtual Q&A sessions for our members and the community. When you register you'll be able to submit your question(s) you have. At the time of the event all you have to do is listen for the answers and guidance you need. Each session will be set up as a webinar and you will not be on video (yay, no shower or makeup necessary!). So you can listen while taking a walk, sitting on your couch, watching your kids play, etc. You'll also be able to add in follow up questions via chat during the session and they will be addressed at the end. The Q&A will be recorded so if you can't make it and want to listen in or need a refresher, the information will still be available to you.
