Who: Postpartum moms who are expected to give birth in the three months leading up to the first circle. Though babies are not required to attend, they are encouraged! We encourage you sign up in advance of giving birth as our circles regularly sell out. If you end up delivering early, late or any issues arise, we are happy to move you to another circle pending availability. It is always better to book early and push out to a later circle as there is likely more flexibility with future circles.

Dates: Circle meets 1x a week for 5 weeks.
October 2, October 9, October 16, October 23 and October 30

Time: 11:30 AM

Address: Luma Dance - 4920 Roswell Road (in North Buckhead/South Sandy Springs in the Fountain Oak Shopping Center)

Topics Covered + Specialist Visits

• Circle 1: Kick-Off & Icebreakers

  Meet the other moms in your circle, and start building the support system you'll lean on throughout the next five weeks. We'll spend time getting to know one another, sharing birth stories if you're ready, and talking about the unique transition from one child to two.

  Circle 2: Feeding Baby #2

  Feeding struggles with a second baby are incredibly common and often look completely different than they did the first time around. Between managing a newborn's needs and a toddler demanding your attention, feeding can feel more complicated than ever. Our feeding specialist (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) will answer your questions and share practical tips for breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, combination feeding, and everything in between.

  Circle 3: Baby Development & Tummy Time

  With your first baby, you probably spent hours on the floor doing tummy time. This time around, you're likely splitting your day between school drop-offs, activities, and making sure your toddler doesn't accidentally tackle the baby. Dr. Brittany Zis, PT, DPT, C/NDT, will lead a tummy time class and share realistic ways to fit developmental play into your busy days. She'll also refresh your memory on common questions like: When do I stop swaddling? Is my baby's head shape normal? When should I be concerned about milestones?

  Circle 4: The Mental Load of Two

  The postpartum experience after your second baby comes with a completely different set of emotional challenges. Balancing the needs of two children, feeling pulled in multiple directions, managing guilt over divided attention, and functioning on even less sleep can take a toll. A maternal mental wellness specialist or perinatal mental health expert will lead an open discussion on navigating this season, caring for yourself, and recognizing when it's time to ask for additional support.

  Circle 5: Pelvic Floor & Returning to Activity

  Second-time moms often experience different pelvic floor concerns due to previous pregnancies, cumulative muscle strain, and the everyday demands of carrying both a growing baby and an active toddler. Dr. Amy Meehan, founder of Revelle Physical Therapy, will cover everything you need to know about pelvic floor recovery, core healing, and safely returning to exercise. She'll also perform diastasis recti (DR) checks and help properly fit and adjust baby carriers for maximum comfort and support.
