For quite
some time now, Brooklyn has been undergoing a baby boom of sorts. And quite appropriately, on Sunday, March 13, Brooklyn will welcome its first-ever Baby Expo.
Hosted by Karen Connell, the brains behind A Baby Grows in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Baby Expo will be held at Toren Condos from 11am to 4pm. The Expo, expected to attract expectant moms, new parents and young families, boasts a day full of activities, exhibitors, demos, seminars and raffles.
The Expo transcends the usual fare of baby shows and boasts a line-up of helpful demos and speakers that most modern parents would appreciate.
Demos include: testing carriers, learning CPR, learning to make baby food and install a car seat

Raising a Good Sleeper Speaker: Janet K. Kennedy, PhD, NYC Sleep Doctor
