Mom & Tot OC is the only Mommy & Me group in Orange County for moms and toddlers (9 months — 3 years old).
Strengthen the bond you have with your toddler and connect with him or her on a different level without the constant pressure of feedings, changing, and crying.
This is a relaxed environment for moms to connect with other moms, get support, and make lifelong friendships.
The 8-week session is on Wednesdays at 11:00 am-12:30 pm in Irvine. Guest speakers provide expert advice on sleep, CPR, car seat safety, relationships, parenting, toddler nutrition, photography, holistic health, music, literature, unstructured play, and more. Crafts are also included!
History
Established in 2015.
After giving birth to twins in 2014, Dawn Antis dove head first into motherhood! She joined a mommy and me group, a mothers of multiples group, and stroller strides. By surrounding herself with other new moms, Dawn began sharing advice, experiences, and what was currently working for her. The Orange County native says she started Mom & Tot OC out of necessity because there are a handful of mommy and me groups for newborns, but no options for toddlers. Her purpose behind Mom & Tot OC is to empower new moms and learn from each others experiences.
