Mothers & Company is a resource you have to know about! The word is getting out that this place is the place for mommas-to-be and new mommas, alike, and was even featured front and center in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette last week.

The MoCo Studio hosts a full package of classes that couples take before they have the baby and they specialize in classes that are not offered anywhere else in Central MA; Natural Childbirth, Hypnobirthing(r) and a breastfeeding class that everyone raves about, can you imagine? The Studio is certainly a warm alternative to hospital-based classes and yet all the same information is covered in-depth by certified, knowledgeable and friendly educators.

moco_376I was struck by the long list of Baby & Me Classes, Moms Groups and Developmental Playgroups for once you have the baby. The MoCo Mommas tell me that the Baby Signing Class and Infant Massage Classes are great classes for Dad to bring baby to. What will you do with that alone time, moms? Both classes are on-going and you can take the class once to get the basics or come back to build upon what you learned before.

Is anyone looking for fitness classes to enjoy WITH your baby or to keep you strong during your pregnancy? Look no further! All offerings are appropriate for all fitness levels.

No more ordering online or driving for those specialty nursing products.They are now right around the corner. Take a look at the studio with the essentials new parents need; baby wraps, nursing bras, breastpumps, swaddling blankets and more. metroMAMA's Favorite is the Moby Wrap which keeps baby and toddler close to you. The MoCo Mommas are always happy to show you how to use the products and will make sure you only buy what is right for you. The shop is open for the half hour before and after any class and by appointment.

    "I wanted to feed my friends something divine but I am not a very good cook, so with the help of the Alfredo Extraordinnaire packet that Jenifer had sent me, I made this..."

    Time 4 Felt
    "Awnya Boam of Story Time Felts was kind enough to send me a felt doll with dozens of outfits. I spread the clothing out on the circle time rug and ask each child "What would she wear if she were to go swimming at a friend's house?" or "What would she wear if she were to go sledding?""
