The “Cub’s Den” is a designated area with a soft play space provided by Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum, a rock ‘n’ rest chair provided by Vermont Department of Health and diaper changing stations provided by Naturally You Childbirth.

“From its inception, the goal and mission of this event is to support, educate and inspire our growing communities,” wrote Eron Young, owner of Naturally You Childbirth, LLC and the creator, coordinator and producer of VT’s Original Pregnancy & Baby Expo, in a news release. “A supported and educated community is a strong format. In 2019 this event was in its 9th year and held in Burlington, Vermont. As with other in-person events, due to the pandemic, we ceased to exist. Thanks to a partnership between Naturally You Childbirth and Southern Vermont Partners In Pregnancy, VT’s Original Pregnancy & Baby Expo is back.”
