Fairfax Delivers For Parents And Their Newborns

FAIRFAX, CA — The town of Fairfax is bringing back a popular program for parents and their newborns.

The New Parents and Babies Group resumes next month after an 18-month hiatus amid the pandemic.

The program is for parents for when they’re expectant to when their babies reach six months.

The weekly outdoor meetings will be held at the Community Center (16 Park Road, next to Peri Park) on the first Thursday of each month from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until the start of the rainy season.

The first meeting will be held Aug. 5.

The program is designed to create an accepting and friendly environment for new parents.

“Our group offers a safe and supportive environment conducive to sharing about topics such as emotional and physical recovery after birth, expectations surrounding being a parent, changes in lifestyle and in relationships, finding support and trusting caregivers, life balance and sleep, navigating medical care, child development, play and temperament, among other topics and issues,” town officials said in a statement.
