Nearly three-quarters of new mums would like to be able to share their experiences with other mums, but don’t know where to go to meet them, according to a new study by the UK-based What’s on for Little Ones website.
In addition, two out of five mums didn’t know that there are a huge range of groups and classes available.
“Many new mums feel isolated and need to meet other mums who are going through similar experiences, but it can be difficult to know where to meet them,” said Sam Willoughby, founder of What’s on for Little Ones. “Taking part in local activities gives mums the chance to meet other parents, share tips and advice, and make lasting friendships. Plus, babies and children have the chance to have fun, meet other children and learn new skills too. The site offers a completely free to search and doesn’t even ask parents to register. All the information is quickly available, dates, times and everything else parents need to know including links to websites and contact information plus a map of how to get there! The information is up to date as the people running the classes and activities for children can update their details whenever they need to.”
