Editor’s Note: For more tips on new parenting, see our articles “OB-GYNs, Midwives, Doulas & Lactation Experts” and “Best in Show“
For expectant and new parents (with children up to toddler age), New York Family has four very special and helpful resources:
The New York Baby Show: New York Family’s grand annual event will take place in May 2015 at Pier 92. The expo attracts thousands of new and expectant families from the metropolitan area who come to discover hundreds of leading vendors and services for new families, while also enjoying seminars and lectures by parenting and family experts and sharing all sorts of fun activities with their infants and toddlers. newyorkbabyshow.com
Our Weekly Baby Newsletter: We also offer expectant and new parents a wonderful and free weekly e-newsletter filled with tips on pre- and post-natal resources, shopping tips, news, and musings—not to mention wonderful giveaways. The newsletter is mostly based on our popular New York Family Baby blog, which is where you can sign up to receive it every week. newyorkfamilybaby.com
New York Family Baby: This magazine is a special bi- annual magazine focused solely on the needs and interests of expectant and new parents. It comes out in the Fall and the Spring.
Finally, the following directory should help you address many of your needs as new parents as well.
