Mama*ology is hosting a "Breastaurant"!
When: Saturday, September 6 from 11am to 3pm
Where: 100 Front Street (The Riverview Building)
Suite 502
Downtown Marietta
Every nursing mother knows it can be difficult at times to find a private place to feed her baby - especially in the hot summer sun. That's why this coming weekend, we will host a Breastaurant for nursing mothers.
"Breastaurant" is a clever name coined years ago for a private area specifically set aside for breastfeeding mothers to nurse their babies.
This type of event has been seen all over the country, mostly during outdoor music festivals or craft fairs.
The venue will feature a private, air-conditioned room specifically for breastfeeding mothers to nurse. This space is free to mothers and is intended to be a quick respite
during the hot afternoon.
Mama*ology members will be stationed at the front of the building and at the door to the Breastuarant space to ensure privacy and provide assistance.
Though this event takes place during the festival weekend, neither this service nor mama*ology are in any way affiliated with the festival organizers.
For more information please contact Crysta @ 740-525-5044 or email crysta@mamaology.com.

Mama*meets Movie Night!
On October 18, 2008 at 7pm, join mama*ology for a viewing of "Orgasmic Birth" by filmmaker Debra Pascali-Bonaro.
"Through the engaging stories of different women—some of whom did not have their ‘ideal’ birth scenario—this extraordinary film will certainly help thousands of young women move past the media misinformation and current climate of ‘doubt’ to a place of confidence in determining their own birthing choices.” —Judy Norsigian, Executive Director, Our Bodies, Ourselves
*WARNING*
You may walk away from this film feeling more empowered about birth.
