Fun and Learning For the Expectant Mom

Ortigas is the happening place for pregnant moms this weekend!  First up is the Belly Blessed Festival which starts today, 12 July 2013 and runs until 8pm on Sunday 14, 2013 at the 2nd and 3rd Level Atrium of The Podium Mall in Pasig City.

But this event is not just for expectant moms but for the whole family with various activities, goodies, and products for moms and children such as a Clay Medallion Making Station, and a wishing wall where families can write special messages to the miracle growing inside mom's tummy.

Tomorrow, 13 July 2013 will be a a full day of informative talks and refreshing entertainment including music and entertainment by Gentle Universe and a belly dancing session with the Goddesses of Belly Dance by Jill Ngo.  There will also be a Keepsake Journal Making Activity by Namaste and Craft MNL.
Meanwhile, you can join the ongoing giveaway and get the chance to win an Aprica stroller!

Aside from the Belly Blessed Festival, LATCH will also be having its bi-monthly Best Beginnings in Breastfeeding on 13 July 2013, from 9am to 12nn at The Medical City.  Pre-registration is highly encouraged to ensure a slot.  Call 988 1000 or 988 7000 ext. 6444.

If you miss the LATCH class this weekend, you can join another one next weekend - 20 July 2013 at the Medela House.  The class is from 1 to 5pm and I will be talking about making breastfeeding succeed even when you go back to work when your maternity leave ends.  I will also share some tips about storage and traveling without baby.

It's a great time to be a pregnant mom! Hope to see you in one of these activities :)
