These Mom + Baby Meetups are easygoing, welcoming get-togethers for moms with babies 0–12 months who want to connect with others in the same season of motherhood. Think real conversations, shared experiences, and a chance to meet other local moms with babies around the same age. Babies are welcome to be babies (feed, nap, fuss, move around), and moms are encouraged to come exactly as they are. There’s no such thing as being late. It’s a celebration just getting out of the house with your baby! No obligation to stay the whole time, either. Everyone stays as long as they want.

Meetups are hosted by Kayla of Honey Sticks Birth Co, a full-spectrum doula and local mom, who helps create a warm, supportive space.

☕ Coffee, tea, and light bites will be provided so you can settle in and enjoy.

🗓️ This is a weekly group held on Thursdays from 10–12.

Advance registration is required. Please send the $15 fee via Venmo (@sunnysideupbirthco) or Zelle (christine@sunnysideupbirthco.com). If you’re unable to attend, your payment can be applied as a credit toward a future meetup. Refunds are not available.

Please note no siblings, so everyone can relax and focus on the connection. We also want to protect little babies from big germs.
