Mothers spend so much of their time holding everyone else, their babies, their households, their families, their worries. The Cradle is where you can come to be held. Not just where you learn to hold others.

Motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

The early weeks of motherhood can feel like drinking from a firehose. You're exhausted, you're in love, and you have a million questions that Google doesn't quite answer. Motherlane gives you something better: real experts (who are also moms), real conversations, and a group of women going through exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. You'll leave each class more informed, more confident, and less alone.

Advice built for your baby,  not the internet's baby.

Online advice is generic. Babies aren't. In our small-group setting, you get to ask your actual questions and get guidance tailored to your actual baby,  by experts who can see you, hear you, and give you a real answer.

Everyone in the room gets it  because they're in it too.

Each series is grouped by your baby's birth month, so every mom in the room is in the same phase. The friendships you make in these eight weeks have a way of lasting well beyond them.

"This class was the perfect transition into motherhood. It helped answer the million questions I had, as well as relate with other recent moms. The experts helped navigate us through various issues we were all having but also making every class feel highly personal. I would recommend this to any new mom!"

"This class was a safe haven for me. Being a new mom comes with so many obstacles that you can’t even imagine until you’re in it and having time each week to get out of the house with my son was something I so looked forward to. It was so wonderful being surrounded by women who were going through the same exact thing.  Whether our babies were smiling, crying, or hungry, I never felt uncomfortable once!  This class is a MUST! You are not alone in this journey and this class reiterates that fact, whether you are looking to hear from experts or just looking for a new mom community, don’t hesitate with this class."
