A Free Monthly Gathering for Pregnant Moms

Our March theme is Lactation: Latch & Learn 🍼✨

We’re welcoming Kristi DiMasi of Latched By Birth — a breastfeeding specialist (soon to be IBCLC!) and doula — who will walk us through all things feeding in the early days.

We’ll cover:
• What to expect in the first few days postpartum
• Latch basics + common challenges
• How to build confidence before baby arrives
• Practical tips you’ll actually use

If you’re unsure about breastfeeding or choose not to breastfeed, this session is still incredibly helpful. Kristi will also cover what happens when your milk comes in, how to stay comfortable, and how to safely decrease or stop milk production if that’s your plan.

What to Expect:

• A relaxed, judgment-free space to ask questions about pregnancy, birth, and the journey into motherhood

• Expert guest speakers including birth educators, doulas, breastfeeding specialists, pediatricians, and more

• Meaningful conversations and community-building with other moms in the same stage of life

No pressure, no prep, just come as you are. This is a space to connect, learn, and feel supported. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. We’re expecting together!

RSVP is required to attend.

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.

Sunny Side Up Birth Co.’s Women-Owned Business Networking Mixers have been such a success! Each gathering is filled with inspiring women and meaningful connections, and I can’t wait to see the continued collaborations and growth that come from them.

Join us for light bites, conversation, and an evening of networking with fellow local women-owned businesses.

During the mixer, each business will share a short introduction and the types of referrals they’re looking for. Feel free to bring along business cards or marketing materials to exchange.

March will have guest speakers Leslie Rivera, SI Chamber of Commerce and Bonnie Arciero, Staten Island Business Development Center, discussing the resources they provide for small businesses. Also, Ingrid Read will be sharing her new online testimonial website, MyOrbit.

As a bonus, attendees are invited to join our Instagram Business Owner group chat—a supportive space to share tips, ask questions, collaborate, and cheer each other on.
