Over the years the group of contributing moms has grown to now include (but not limited to) a clinical social worker, culture specialist, mental health therapist and a music listings guru, who happens to be a dad! Together, this team of city parenting experts cultivates a bustling calendar that will keep the fam on their feet, knowledgeable reading material covering breast feeding to showing parents how to digitally backup precious memories of their kids. A Child Grows in Brooklyn keeps the focus on family-based events and suggestions that will make parents excited too!

This spring, A Child Grows in Brooklyn is expanding their presence on the scene with the Brooklyn Baby Expo. Many years in the making, the blog has finally gained enough ground and impressive sponsorship to host vendors, childhood experts and baby demo diehards to the advantage of the New York parenting public.
