Saint Thomas Midtown to Host Free Baby Fair
Ascension Saint Thomas and Nashville Parent Magazine welcome expectant parents, their loved ones, and all interested Middle Tennesseans to the 18th-annual Baby Fair. This free, fun, and educational event will take place at Saint Thomas Midtown on Saturday, May 4, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Co-produced by Ascension Saint Thomas and Nashville Parent Magazine, the Baby Fair is designed for mothers-to-be, their partners, and anyone in their support system who like to learn how to make a baby’s arrival a smoother transition. The event will pair educational courses on topics like maternal mental health with fun activities like the “Daddy Diaper Derby,” in which the father who can diaper a baby doll fastest will win a prize. More than 800 people attended last year’s fair.
Blooma Nashville Yoga will teach prenatal yoga poses, Lisa Holzapfel of Hope Clinic for Women will provide a car seat safety demonstration, and Ready Nest Counseling will lead a discussion on Maternal Mental Health. There will be on-site classes with the titles: “Baby Basics,” “Breastfeeding 101,” and “Why go natural?” Tours of the Ascension Saint Thomas birthing center will depart every 15 minutes.
