Decades of research….business and legal concerns.

This is why informed consent and the why behind everything in maternity care is so important.

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx

Dads need community too!

This is an amazing opportunity. TLBC highly supports work from home and stay at home dads, Dad involvement at all levels!

🐻💙 Meet Sean Chambers 🐻💙

Papa Bear Sean Chambers describes himself as a "proud girl dad" of 16-month-old Lillian, who will be getting a little sister in December of 2025!

Sean and his wife, Brianna, live with their family in Eau Claire and own 2 Roots Art & Wine Gallery downtown.

2 Roots is a family-owned wine bar with one of the largest by-the-glass programs in the country, beer, and plenty of N/A options.

The Chambers clan has become regular attenders of our in-person on Saturday mornings!

Now, Sean has graciously volunteered to host , a monthly group we are super excited to help launch.

Sean's vision for the group is simple and laid-back: "a group to connect with other dads who are balancing family life while figuring it all out together."

Opening up their space during non-business hours, Sean will host dads at 2 Roots, 214 South Barstow Street. Free street parking or paid ramps downtown.

Babies in arms are certainly welcome, but thank you for making other arrangements for older/mobile kiddos.

Please bring your own coffee; we'll supply the snacks!
