What's with all the crying!?
Navigating tears for both mom & baby

Tuesday, October 20th | 10:00am-12:00pm | 5 Pine St.

Sometimes it’s baby crying. Sometimes it’s mom. Sometimes it’s both!

Join QueenCare for a supportive, practical workshop exploring the tears that come with early motherhood. We’ll talk about infant crying, gas, soothing holds, and navigating the “witching hours,” alongside postpartum emotions, feeling touched out, and communicating your needs to your partner.

Learn strategies for those overwhelming moments, when to reach out for extra support, and why it’s okay to take a minute—or hold your baby and cry.

A little understanding, some practical tools, and a reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
