Expectant parents and their families are invited to a fun and informative night out by attending the Prenatal Health Fair hosted by Peterborough Public Health at the Holiday Inn on Monday, September 30, 2013 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
This event is free and open to everyone with an interest in learning how best to prepare for having a baby, and about the supports available in the Peterborough area. The Prenatal Health Fair features interactive displays and demonstrations on a wide variety of topics such as nutrition for baby and Mom, becoming a parent, baby’s development, and much more.
Car seat experts from Smith-Ennismore OPP Community Policing will share tips and answer questions about how to safely buckle up your baby, a massage therapist will be on hand to demonstrate infant massage techniques, a children’s librarian will recommend books you can read to your newborn and hospital staff will share the many ways they provide support to get breastfeeding off to a good start. Fathers-to-be won’t want to miss trying on the
“Empathy Belly” and visiting the fathering display. You might even win a beautiful door prize!
