Intro to babies
Montreal’s Mom2Be, an organization that twins expectant parents and services and companies designed to help them, is holding its fourth annual kid-friendly expo on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Hotel Ruby Foo’s (7655 Decarie). Whether you’re a parent or you’re considering starting a family, there’s lots to check out.
“It’s something well-rounded for the parents, and the kids,” says spokesperson Laurie Alloway. “We provide variety—you are not going to see the same old thing. New parents will get a lot of information.”
Activities include a demonstration on preventing infant choking from Bébé-Sécure, a mommy-friendly fashion show, plus inkless hand- and foot-printing.
Although the entire event is free, money is still being raised for a good cause. Proceeds from an on-site raffle will go directly to the neonatal unit of the Montreal Children’s Hospital. “We have been doing this from the beginning, because we want to help newborns and their families,” says Alloway.
Raffle prizes include high-end items like strollers and high-chairs with price tags in the hundreds of dollars. You can buy tickets on-site, but pre-registry gets you one free raffle ticket and a gift bag. The expo runs from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Dads- and grandparents-to-be are welcome.
