Welcome to Purely Baby!

Purely Baby is about choice!  At Purely Baby, you can be sure you will always get an honest and clear look at all of your options, and be given the freedom and confidence to choose for yourself where you fit. Purely Baby's individual classes allow you to choose what you learn about and when by creating your own unique prenatal class.  Purely Baby’s classes are where epidurals and drug free births are both discussed as viable and useful alternatives; where breast and bottle are both offered as viable feeding options with pros and cons; where attachment theory and Ferber method can exist side by side for you to choose. At Purely Baby you will get a better understanding of your own beliefs and values and will be better prepared to enter this life transition with confidence and peace of mind.

Congratulations!!  You have just joined a league of extraordinary women who have carried babies in their belly with ease and grace, glowing through the whole nine months…well, ok, maybe not as much ease, grace and glowing as some would have you believe!  In fact some may suggest we replace ease with aches and pains, grace with exhaustion, and glowing with nausea – but welcome anyway!  Click here for your due date calculator!  Please allow Purely Baby to give you a few tips and pointers to help make this time a little less confusing and a little more comfortable…

Well done!  You have survived the first trimester – hopefully the exhaustion and nausea hasn’t done you in yet, and if it has…well, things will hopefully get a bit better from here!  The next 6 months you will finally get to start feeling pregnant, and looking pregnant.  Strangers will soon feel the need to touch your belly without warning, your co-workers will start making comments about the size of your belly – big or small, and your friends and family will soon unleash the unsolicited advice and horror stories.  The next six months will also be when the reality will hit that watching your belly grow, and feeling your baby’s kicks will inevitably end in you having to give birth one way or another.  As the panic begins to set in, and everyone starts making wagers about when “B” day will come, you can count on Purely Baby to be here to help calm your nerves and grow your confidence…

Congratulations on the birth of your bundle of joy!  Whether this is your first or 10th (yes, believe it or not, people do choose to go through this all over again!), the next few months are going to be a bit of a blur.  Through breastfeeding blunders, sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and spit up stained laundry piles your priorities will now go from decorating the nursery and shopping for maternity clothes to making sure you get at least one meal in today and hoping to take a shower this week.  Through this uncertain yet memorable time, Purely Baby will be here, like an old trusted friend, to answer your questions and ease the transition.

Now comes the real celebration – you have survived the first six months, and more importantly so has your bouncing baby!  All the education and reading in the world couldn’t have prepared you for the emotional and physical rollercoaster of the past 15 months, but you made it!  Now that there is really something to celebrate and be proud of…the cards and gifts have stopped coming, the offers to help have slowed, and people no longer call just to make sure you are ok.  You have made it through the pregnancy and postpartum stages and are now back to real life – just a little different than you remember it.  Who knew that all the talk about creating a “new life” really meant yours?  Purely Baby is still here for you and wants to help you figure out this “new life” you find yourself in…

Like an old hat – your new life is starting to feel more comfortable, and a little less unpredictable…at least until that baby starts walking and talking!  You have found some creative ways to get some sleep, and maybe even a night out or two without the baby attached.  But now comes the real test – fitting your “old life” in with this new baby, and your new role!  Sounds simple enough right?  Except for the sleepless night followed by that crucial 8 am meeting, or that project deadline that lines up perfectly with baby’s first ear infection, what about the fact that your “new life” body doesn’t quite yet fit into your “old life” clothes?  Purely Baby will be here to connect, commiserate, and console you through all life’s ups and downs and help you figure out where the old you fits…
