“Without Baby Steps, I would have been so lost in motherhood. From preparing me for childbirth to potty training tips, they helped me through all of my unforeseen circumstances. They gave me a safe space with no judgment, where everyone was welcome. No matter what was going on at home, I knew I was never alone with Baby Steps.”
