Babytalk La

I attended the Mommy and Me group. Vanessa and Elsa are great. They are very approachable and knowledgeable. I gained a lot of practical advice. We covered the basics of the first few months in great detail. It was nice to get to know other new moms. I highly recommend Babytalk LA.

BabyTalkLA saved my life or rather my husband’s. Their pregnancy group was so informative and helpful that I was less inclined to kill him during my pregnancy. They really allayed all the big fears of pregnancy, preparing for baby and giving birth. Elsa and Vanessa are both parents, so not only are they informed, but they have been there and understand what you’re going through. I would recommend that all first time moms and dads take the pregnancy group.
I then signed up for the mommy and me groups. And again, I learned so much. Especially about sleep. They helped me get my four month old on a nap schedule. I didn’t believe it would work, but they were always available via email to answer questions and after a week my baby was sleeping soundly during the day. I don’t think I could have done that on my own.
The other great thing about the mommy and me group is that it’s a safe place to talk about all the changes you’re going through, with work, spouse, baby and being a new mommy. Plus, you get to meet other moms with kids the same age. It really does take a village!

I started with their expectant parents group… Was great and the doula instructor and guest speakers were phenomenal, but drawback is that it is only an hour weekly, when it easily could’ve been 1.5 or 2 hours and met fewer weeks. I liked it and loved that my hubby could attend for no added fee, and enrolled in the mommy and me group to see how that would go and POW! LOVED IT! what a great group of people and valuable info given with guided discussion. I have taken classes elsewhere (PumpStation and others) and the community here is more comfortable for me and my infant, and I got more out oF the BabyTalk classes than anywhere else. Love all the sleep advice and dietary help I learned!!!

I was looking for a Mommy and Me class — something I could learn about different «cycles» in my newborn’s life. In the four classes I’ve gone to, I’ve already gotten SO much more information that I could have ever hoped for. Not only about daily activities, but important information about traveling with a baby, pediatrics, and even baby massage! After the classes Elsa and Vanessa type up the notes, as we all have our hands full of our little bundles of joy, so no need to feel like you could be forgetting anything! Its a great group of mommies to boot! I’m excited for next set of sessions to continue learning/​growing and laughing along with all the other parents!

Love Babytalk LA — I’m in the Expecting Parents group, and it’s a relaxed, fun environment to get valuable information, ask questions, and share thoughts with other parents-​to-​be. Elsa & Vanessa are great at moderating the group, and helping you feel prepared without telling you exactly what to think. Their experience and personalities complement each other really well, so you feel like you have a good understanding of a couple of different points of view. They give you tangible information that really helps you visualize the specifics of being a new parent, and feel prepared.

Absolutely love Vanessa and Elsa! You can tell right away that they truly love what they do and want to be there for you and your baby. They create a very fun, easy going environment and are full of the best advice and information. Sadly we have moved out of La, but I am so happy to have found out about this group. My daughter and I had a great time, it’s the perfect place to socialize your babies and meet other great moms too. babytalk la is an awesome group to be apart of.

Love Vanessa and Elsa!!! These ladies make the class. I have been doing Babytalk for about a year and as our toddler son is growing, it’s been wonderful to get pertinent, on the spot advice from a team of experts that understand our son’s changing needs. Babytalk cares about the entire family unit and offers valuable parenting skills that will help us for years to come.

I could not be happier with my experience at Babytalk LA. The teachers are knowledgeable, supportive and most importantly because they are moms to young children themselves, the advice they give is practical, realistic and it works. Also, I have really enjoyed the other mothers in my class. They are a smart, educated group and I very much value the things I have learned from them. Whether you’re expecting or have a little one already definetly check out Babytalk LA.

BabytalkLA has been my main source of information and «mommy» support since my baby was 6 months old.

I have a daughter that is turning 1 and I have been involved with a couple of different mommy & me groups since she was born. The mommy & me classes in general provide a support group to discuss relevant in-​the-​moment baby development /​behavioral issues with a knowledgeable group leader and an instant group of mommy and baby friends. Babytalk specifically has provided me not only with the support above but has added in an expert guest speaker element. Babytalk has hosted a nutritionist and school administrator that has given me valuable information that I would have otherwise had to dedicate several hours of time researching or traveling to a doctor’s office or school to get. Being a working mom, I appreciate that I can go to one place to get a lot of extremely useful information and ask a lot of questions. Also, the space is very baby /​toddler friendly and I like the group of moms and babies that I get to interact with during class.

The facilitators are very knowledgeable and I never feel like I’m being judged by them or my peers in the group. Recently, a pre-​school administrator came in to talk about how to get your child into the right schools and the questions to ask for when touring schools. That was really helpful because as a first-​time mom, I had no idea what to do. Although I love to read up and do lots of research during my own non-​existent time, it makes such a difference to have an expert right in front of you where you can ask anything you want concerning your child (ren). I have also met a ton of other great moms who have babies the same age as my daughter. I would definitely recommend this class to new moms for sure –it’s one of my favorite activities I do with my baby! A baby playdate and mommy playdate, it doesn’t get any better!
