August. 1st on your calendar,
Houston Methodist Sugar Land
Hospital is hosting a community
baby shower and it’s free for
everybody. Joining us now to
talk about this huge important
event, Donna Temer, a lactation
support consultant and
Christina Martin, the director
of the Child Birth Center.
I’m just talking about it.
If I had known something like
this was happening before my
first I was in there
immediately talk a little bit
about why new mothers should
register for this event.
>> So I think it has a lot of
our community resources out
there for We have like a
pediatrician that’s there.
That can answer questions for
you. There’s just a lot of re
resources and community safety
stuff. And then, you know,
August is are breastfeeding
Awareness Month. So we have
our left assistance there.
And it’s just a wonderful event
you’re able to kind of just
go through the area and really
get a lot of things that you
didn’t realize weren’t. Were
there.
>> Donna, this is so helpful
for people, especially new
parents because you don’t know
what to expect. You know,
you’re pregnant. You’re you’re
a lot is happening at that
time. What vendors will be
there helping everyone.
>> They’ll be a lot of vendors
will be anything from car seat.
Safety,
safe sleep, from Mama’s
Maternal, Mental
pelvic floor and things that
moms can do to help themselves.
The library will be there
showing resources for moms and
babies. You name a baby just a
lot of different things.
Just for moms, babies and
families. And I even saw
newborn pictures. Yes, we used
to have a photographer say,
yep, you’re talking about
vendors specifically. We have
a photographer that’s coming
that can show some of their
work. In the photographer that
comes to the hospital also be
there showing their work and
allowing parents to make some
of those decisions before they
come in and they’re kind of put
on the spot. Will have other
vendors like doctor’s Baby’s
first furniture will be Someone
who does baby wearing
specifically sometimes because
of that light, someone who does
cotton candy that. Yeah, but
there’s so many.
>> What I try to think of them
all. No, we probably have about
34 35 between community
resources, vendors and doctors,
offices.
>> Christina, talk about what
is the number one question you
hear from from families?
I think so like the number one
thing is most people are like
baby shower. What is that?
You know, so they’re really
not sure what it is. But it is
>> where the community is
coming together and everything.
A lot of the things that we
>> are providing
our all, you know, handmade
resources, everything from the
you know, these handmade Burke
laws to handmade memory pens
that these allow moms, you
know, which side the lead
united I breastfeed on last,
you know, so there’s just so
much it’s really where the
community comes together.
And that’s what makes this a
very unique event in. So I
think baby shower kind of does
it really, you know, tell us
exactly what it’s about that.
And so that’s really where
we’re at. Is that what you
know? Why should I come from
that place? It’s kind of like a
multi-generational support for
new moms and babies with any
one from.
