Making friends

Could your mum come with you to a baby group, help entertain baby while you talk to some mums? I'm sorry you're struggling so much

I understand how it is! I'm not sure where you are but Leicestershire has an 'active_mums_club' on Instagram and they arrange 'buggy walks' so the babies are a bit calmer as you are all walking 🤣 maybe you could search if there is something similar near you?

Here if you want to message me! Feel very much the same🤍

I get how you’re feeling I’m similar. my mum is amazing, but my friends are all busy in their own life’s and don’t have children yet so finding time that suits mostly day times is hard. I also have a soon to be 2 year old so baby groups are hard to attend as some won’t allow both as it’s all babies. I currently have no mum friends and even after being on here have not really met anyone who seems to want to meet. We are in Benfleet, Essex if your local we could meet for coffee or play date x

Peanut is a good place to start. I’ve met a couple of local mum’s on here & met up for a coffee. Try some other baby groups. I have one at a church hall & a coffee shop attached. I noticed some of the mums were going there before the class and have naturally started chatting, not forced. Good luck!

Aw this post is me right now too. hasn't met a couple my closest and it feels most weird cause you couldn't picture them not seeing your baby yet in person. I reached out and those who responded openly after talking they have been going through their own chaos and 9 times out of 10 feeling Similar if not the same. My one friend told me she backed off because she felt I'd be busy with my children she'd be a burden to me when she's in times of need. At no stage did I say or suggest this to her she just assumed that's how it goes when someone has a child. I hope you can find some or a group locally. All the best, If there any others who'd like to try organise a buggy walk get in touch for Bristol or Gloucester Areas 💓
