"We
truly believe in the benefits of a localized supportive environment for
parents so you’ll find no glitzy baby races sponsored by multi-national
corporations here." says Maternity Xchange co-owner, Bobbi Williams.
"The San Francisco Birth and Baby Fair gathers members of the local
birth and early parenting community and give families the chance to
discover and support the businesses and resources in their own
backyard."
"The
SF Birth & Baby Fair should be one of the first stops for the
expecting or new parent," according to Cara Vidano, owner of Natural
Resources, a pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting center in San
Francisco. "Pregnancy takes you into a whole new world that can be
overwhelming due to the multitude of options during ones pregnancy,
birth & early parenting days. This event will answer questions you
didn't even know you had."
