We will share information on pumping, collection, storage and feeding. We hope you can take away helpful ideas and strategies to make the situation work best for you.
Giving Birth  – How and Where: A Guided Tour.
Presenting the Birth Course I wish I had had! Learn what happens during labour and delivery, what to know for successful breastfeeding and how to take care of your newborn. This series of six meetings will include information on how your body changes during pregnancy, prenatal testing, the hormonal and physical processes that occur during labour and delivery, pain management, Â and what happens when you take your little one home. We discuss birth plans and, for those of you delivering in Rome, we cover information on Roman hospitals, clinics and home birth and the clarification of roles of the Italian medical professions. Our mission is to arm you with enough information so you can have a birth as close to the one you desire as possible. This course is run by Gabriella Pacini, midwife, lactation consultant (IBCLC) and counsellor and Kiersten Miller her sidekick.
Wednesday evenings from 7pm – 9pm starting November 14th.
Maximum 6 couples.

In this workshop aimed at parents at families living a mobile life we will explore the numerous important facets of transitions. How transitions affect the immediate and long term lives of children and adolescents , the importance of understanding the joys and challenges and grief that are a part of moving as well as the need to develop a sense of belonging. Through the understanding of terms such as Third Culture Kids and Cross Culture, we will further understand the cultural iceberg, identity and the importance of the establishment of core relationships with family and friends.

This is a La Leche League meeting focused on mothers breastfeeding babies over 9 months of age. Come and share your experiences, listen to others and get great guidance without judgements! Come for the support and information, stay for the friendships!
Lots of things that happen during the first 3 years of life are beyond our control, but certain practices might help our little ones to live in harmony with their microbes which can have long term benefits for their immune systems.
The microbiome is the collective genome of the microbes that live both inside and on our body. These microorganisms are very old friends to humans, but it is only recently that we have begun to understand their impact on our health and wellbeing such as fending off pathogens, tuning the immune system and even influencing mental health.
Babies acquire these germs predominantly from their mother, then from other family members, and the environment. From birth to the age of three the microbiome is extremly dynamic and intervention during this period could have life long effects. Then after the age of three, a toddler’s microbiome is more adult-like and tends to bounce back after challenges.
Join us for a meeting with Fanette Fontaine, phD to talk about the preciousness of the human microbiome and its importance on our health and learn simple tools to preserve your child’s microbiome.
