Facilitated by Amanda Laskowski, Founder of Cincy Postpartum, a community that has supported over 500 women since May 2022.

Discover a comfortable and supportive space to ask questions and connect with other Jewish moms in the same transformative season of postpartum and early parenting. Our Jewish Postpartum Circle is a “Baby + Me” program that will help you cultivate community, process the transition in your identity and family, and discover local resources that will assist you and baby physically, mentally, and logistically.

  • Infant Feeding & Sleep
  • Your Postpartum Body & Physical Recovery
  • Mental Health & Wellness
  • 4th Trimester & Transitioning Back to Work
  • And more, depending on group interests and needs

This program is recommended for first-time moms or experienced moms + their babies under 16 weeks old.

I think everyone in the 4th Trimester should consider participating in a Circle. It provided education, socialization, support, and a sense of community. It was something to look forward to in my week and helped me to build my confidence in leaving the house with my baby.
