Thank you for visiting the Mothers and Company website. Unfortunately, our beautiful shop and welcoming center for parents and parents-to-be in West Boylston is closed. Some of our former instructors are teaching their own classes and support groups and some some fantastic volunteer community members are running playgroups and support groups as well. Additionally, we have an active Facebook page which is now used to just post interesting articles and events that are of interest to parents and parents-to-be. “Like” Mothers and Company to be part of the community!
Breastfeeding Support
In the past we had LOTS going on here for those with new babies. We had 13 free breastfeeding support groups per month (some led by board-certified lactation consultants and others led by experienced breastfeeding counselors). We had 2-3 new moms groups per week, playgroups, infant massage classes, baby signing classes, yoga for parents with their babies, swim classes for parents with their babies and so much more!
Find a class, group or event…
Did you come to our website looking for a class, group or event that is independent, small, fun and thorough? Since Mothers & Company is closed, we are no longer providing any services but we are committed to letting you know where you can get great classes in our community. There are great instructors in our community (all of whom used to teach at MoCo) who are scheduling classes and you can register through them. They LOVE what they do (who doesn’t love babies and their people?) and their passion shines through…
If you are interested in a class that isn’t listed below (or for a time period that isn’t listed, email info@mothersandcompany.com. We’ll let you know if we know of one in the works through the network of great instructors that we know and love.
