PIP GROUPS FOR PARENTS OF BABIES (5-12 MONTHS)

The first year of your baby’s arrival brings so many emotions: joy, overwhelm, exhaustion, loneliness, awe, and everything in between. It’s full of the highest highs and lowest lows.

PIP groups provide a welcoming space for new parents to keep it real and find comfort and nourishment through friendship, community resources, and connection.

“My husband and I joined a PIP group in 2018 and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents, to date! We met other families who I know will be lifelong friends, and our kids have grown up knowing one another. My text chain with the other families has been a lifeline as we have navigated the newborn phase, weaning, childcare, potty training, and most recently kindergarten together. We have leaned on each other constantly and I could not be more grateful for this organization. I want every family to have the experience we did. Don’t hesitate to give this a shot!!”
— 2024, Kathryn L.
