BAMBINO BRIGADE
A free parent-to-parent support group that encourages outdoor exercise and responsive, gentle parenting.
Bambino Brigade is a free parent-to-parent support group that encourages outdoor exercise and responsive, gentle parenting. This group has been going since 2009, supporting the needs of Middle Tennessee families. Babywearing is supported and encouraged, but not required! Some meetups are stroller-friendly, check listing for details. Breastfeeding, whether exclusive or partial, nursing or pumping, is supported and encouraged. We support babies and parents with all forms of infant feeding including bottles, tube feedings, solids, and more. We can help you learn to feed baby while babywearing and in public!
We strive to be welcoming to all types of families. We trust our babies and are responsive to their needs. We are learning to trust ourselves as parents. We strive to be kind to ourselves and gentle with each other as we navigate our parenting journeys together.
***Need a baby carrier? Let Bess know so she can loan one to you for an event.***
ONLINE SUPPORT
Once you have attended a hike in person and decide you want to return, email Bess your facebook name to be added to our Bambino Brigade private support group on Facebook. This is where you will connect with other parents for more meet-up opportunities, beyond the monthly hikes.
