A Local Community Event for New & Expecting Parents: The San Francisco Birth and Baby Fair

The San Francisco Birth & Baby Fair, is a THE event for new and expecting parents in the San Francisco Bay Area. Join us for a day of education and shopping, Saturday May 24th, 10am - 3pm at Fort Mason Center.
 
April 18, 2008 - PRLog -- San Francisco, CA  – Maternity Xchange, in
partnership with Natural Resources, hosts the San Francisco Birth and
Baby Fair, sponsored by Lori Paladino Photography and GetzWell
Pediatrics. On Saturday, May 24th from 10am until 3pm at Fort Mason
Conference Center, new and expecting Bay Area parents can attend free
workshops and meet representatives from over 45 locally based
companies and organizations covering everything from prenatal
education and family finances to new parent support and holistic care.
Admissions is $5, children 18 and under are free. Complimentary passes
are available from most sponsors and exhibitors while supplies last.

Today's parents are fortunate, if not overwhelmed, with a multitude of
options during pregnancy, birth and early childhood.  Parents in the
SF Bay area especially benefit from the myriad of services catering to
diverse lifestyles and populations. The San Francisco Baby Fair is the
perfect opportunity to explore these resources and gather information
to enhance your experience in pregnancy and beyond.

Attendees can find out what a doula is, learn how to "wear" their
baby, or find photographers to capture the unique experience of
pregnancy. Workshops and demonstrations include Early Pregnancy 101,
Birthing Options and Alternatives, Cloth Diapering, Pre & Post Natal
Exercise and more. Parents also have the opportunity to discover local
boutiques and designers and purchase baby clothing, accessories and
discounted, brand name maternity apparel. There will be a free raffle
with prizes donated by participating businesses and gift bags will be
distributed to the first 250 families to arrive.


Because the event coordinators own and operate a small business
themselves, this event encourages patronizing local businesses and
services by emphasizing exhibitors that are locally based."We truly
believe in the benefits of a localized supportive environment for
parents so you'll find no glitzy baby races sponsored by
multi-national corporations here." says Maternity Xchange co-owner,
Bobbi Williams. "The San Francisco Birth and Baby Fair gathers members
of the local birth and early parenting community and give families the
chance to discover and support the businesses and resources in their
own backyard."


"The SF Birth & Baby Fair should be one of the first stops for the
expecting or new parent," according to Cara Vidano, owner of Natural
Resources, a pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting center in San
Francisco. "Pregnancy takes you into a whole new world that can be
overwhelming due to the multitude of options during ones pregnancy,
birth & early parenting days. This event will answer questions you
didn't even know you had."
