Hi - our new mothers group morphed into a playgroup when they were babies - about four months old, they did a lot of lying around or sleeping and we chatted and drank tea.

It was good in the beginning, but it got a bit too big (about 13 mums) and it broke up when the kids were just over one. Two of the mums had a bit of a non speaking blue and still don't talk now, three years later, and they live in the same street.

I don't know what I'm going to do this time - Cait will be in 4yo kinda next year. I have a few friends with young ones under one so I don't think I will do playgroup, at least not in the first year.

Babr.
