WELCOME to The Play Lab's
Parenting Workshop Series
with Brooklyn Birth Collective
We are excited to introduce our new series of workshops,
designed to support and empower parents at every stage of their journey.
Whether you're preparing to become a parent or navigating the early stages of parenthood,
these workshops are here to provide valuable education and foster a sense of community.
We are particularly focused on supporting pre- and postnatal women, offering a space to connect with others,
share experiences, and build confidence as you embark on this incredible journey.
Join us as we provide the tools, knowledge, and support you need to thrive in your role as a parent,
while building meaningful connections with fellow moms.
All workshops will be held by Chatequa and Marina doulas that collaborate with Brooklyn Birth Collective
and often partner together to support clients with labor & birth, in their postpartum journeys, or both!

Infant Feeding
for Expecting Parents
Thursday, February 6th
6:30-8 pm
This lactation workshop will help families prepare for the different ways they can feed their babies–including breastfeeding/chestfeeding, combo feeding, pumping, formula feeding etc.
We’ll discuss preparation for breastfeeding/bodyfeeding, getting a deep latch and common challenges, identifying feeding cues and infant feeding habits in the first days and weeks.
This workshop for expectant parents seeks to leave you with more clarity and some tangible tools/tips and what to do when you come up against challenges as you are caring for your new baby.

Building Your
Birth Team!
Thursday, February 20th
6:30-8 pm
Come chat with Marina & Chatequa, two doulas from Brooklyn Birth Collective about building your birth team!
This workshop will help parents-to-be think about how they want to feel when they give birth and what they can do to build a birth team that supports their vision.
Chatequa & Marina believe there is no one right way to give birth and aim to empower their clients with the information that sets them up to make the best choices for them!
We will discuss picking and talking to your provider, why you might want a doula and what working with one is like, what to pack in your birth bag for a hospital birth, and offer basic resources around childbirth education and preparation.
This is an especially amazing workshop for those who are newly pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant and want to consider all of their options as they think ahead to labor & birth.
⭐ 90-minute workshop session: $120 per family
