Let's Hear it for the Dads!

Did you know?  According to www.childwelfare.gov, "Even from birth, children who have an involved father are more likely to be emotionally secure, be confident to explore their surroundings, and, as they grow older, have better social connections with peers."  

Daddys often play with their children differently than moms and this is a good thing!  While most moms help children to interact with objects and provide language for baby, dads arouse baby's curiosity through vigorous play.  Both of these kinds of play are important for baby's emotional,  physical, and cognitive development.

At Soft and Cozy Baby, we've been supporting moms and babies for years now.  This has indirectly resulted in helping dads, but we really wanted to do something just for this very important caregiver!

Introducing Daddy Club!  A drop-in support group for dads that offers guy advice from fellow fathers in the thick of it.  Starting this Thursday, come by anytime from 6:30-8:30pm for a beer, a snack, or just to hang out.  Feel free to bring your little one with you if you'd like.  

This informal gathering will meet once a month.  We'll start out at the store and possibly move to different locations as suits the group.

Oh, and moms, we
haven't forgotten you!  We'll still have our weekly Mom's Support Group on Wednesday afternoons and Breastfeeding Mom's Circle on Thursday afternoons.  Plus, check out our online calendar for other classes and special events!
