Fresh air, friendly faces, and a little movement can go a long way — and that's exactly what our BNF Weekly Walking Group is all about. Every week, families come together to get outside, soak up some nature, and connect with their community.

Whether you're navigating the newborn fog, looking for a change of scenery, or just craving adult conversation, this is your invitation!

Grab your stroller or put on your carrier and come as you are. Our lactation staff will be walking right alongside you, so it's a great chance to ask questions, share what's on your mind, or simply enjoy some time with people who get it.

We know the postpartum season can feel isolating — getting outside and gently moving your body can make a real difference for your mental health and overall wellbeing. 

☀️ Come for the walk, stay for the community.

Chronic loneliness is linked to higher rates of perinatal depression, anxiety, and postpartum mood disorders. Being a new parent can be lonely.

The shift in identity, loss of old social rhythms, and changed social support can leave you feeling like a stranger in your own life -- making it harder to ask for or accept help.

If you're a new or expecting parent and you're feeling this way -- you are not alone. 🧡

BNF is here to help. We provide free support so every family has the expert guidance and community they need to thrive:

• Free birth education and prenatal yoga classes to meet other expecting parents
• Free feeding and lactation support from certified professionals
• Free community weekly playgroups to enjoy your new routine
• Free peer support groups for reassurance and community
• Free 24/7 Support Line for middle of the night doubts and concerns

Everything FREE.
Can you help keep these systems accessible for all families in Berkshire county?
