Making Friends in the Maternity Community

This week, 3DBabyVu went to a mixer hosted by The Bump magazine at the Casa Madrona Hotel and Spa in downtown Sausalito. The Bump was recently purchased by The Knot (joining the family of The Knot, The Nest, and Lila Guide), but has been around for several years, providing informative and fun reads for parents - super relevant whether you are expecting your first or fourth (or nth...) baby.

What an amazing experience! There were about 20 women and 2 men (major props to GreatDad.com and 3DBabyVu's own Mark Hayward) in attendance, representing a variety of different resources for new and expecting parents - maternity and newborn photography, maternity stores, yoga and dance centers, a coffeeshop just for parents and their little ones (!)and spas (The beautiful Corte Madera Spa is home to Barefoot & Pregnant, one of the few places in the Bay that uses only certified prenatal massage therapists). All in all, a very innovative group of people, all of whom sincerely look to provide services and products that enrich the experiences of mothers, fathers, and their families. I'm trying to stay in touch with all of them to help build a community of locally-owned, quality places for you. so stay tuned for some exciting partnerships between 3DBabyVu and some of the amazing individuals and local businesses that we met in the very near future!
