In-Person Postpartum Support Groups Around Arlington

As we pass the winter solstice and the days start getting longer (but still cold), here is a quick round up of in-person indoor meetings for parents with infants who might find going out in the winter hard (or anyone expecting a baby in the new year). There are a lot of fantastic (free & paid) postpartum groups in the area. Are there any other meet ups or support groups you know of that you'd like to add? Do you want to volunteer to start one for Arlington Family Connection? Comment below

I'll be writing a quick round up of places (free and paid) my family has taken our toddler to in the winter to run around indoors and things we've enjoyed outdoors in the winter too.
