Today I worked the Usborne Books booth and helped with the “Mommy, Leave Me Intact” booth at the Central FL Birth Network’s Third Annual Birth Fair.
Since another consultant was working the booth with me, I had the chance to walk around and meet the other vendors. Several breastfeeding support organizations were represented as well as local pediatricians, midwives, acupuncturists, and more. If you didn’t get there today, definitely plan on it next year. It’s a great way to network with other natural-minded parents and practitioners in the area.
I thought of doing a Central FL Green Guide booth but opted not to since I was already doing two booths. If I could do it again, I would have tried to get another writer to do the table. I didn’t bother because I knew most of our writers were already doing their own booths at the fair! I did hand out some cards though and told several vendors about our new site and what we’re doing. I also chatted with a few of them about joining us as writers.
If you missed the Birth Fair, you can still benefit from checking out the Central FL Birth Network’s website. It’s a great resource for parents of young children who want to connect with doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and more!

As usual, I had a wonderful day at the birth fair. This is my third year particiapting and this year’s turnout was fabulous! What a great community event with expectant families, new parents and seasoned veterans all gathering for fun, friendship and to learn more about what the local community has to offer in support of birth and families of young children.
