Vancouver Community facilitates Baby and Me Parenting Drop-ins, for Vancouver residents, to provide new parents with the chance to connect with and get support from other parents and health care professionals to discuss infant growth and development, nutrition, safety and adjustment to parenthood.
The Baby and Me Parenting Drop-ins are free and open to all parents and caregivers with children from birth until eight months of age. No registration is required.
