Expectant parents and their families are invited to a fun night out by attending the Prenatal Health Fair hosted by Peterborough Public Health at the Holiday Inn on Monday, February 11 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
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 supportive care both during and after your birth experience.
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. Highlights include the “empathy belly” and fathering displays, as well as the chance to win a door prize.
