post natal/baby groups in North Leeds

[papasruby]

Hi
I am new to this and for some reason cannot read the reply to my initial question yesterday, can anyone recommend and mother and baby groups in North leeds - meanwood, Moortown or Headingley that are not breast feeding groups. I have a 3 week old baby and am keen to meet new mums. Maebee please could you reply to this email again so I can read the detail?

Thanks

hi!

this is what i said:
im in leeds, in harehills, and go to baby groups all the time. i generally go to chapeltown surestart stuff - its free, lots of different things, and really mixed bunch.
go to www.surestartchapeltown.org.uk to see whats on at the family centre. its unbelieveably friendly and relaxed there.
chapeltown might be a bit far for you? i imagine headingley wont be a surestart area, so you might just have the paying groups there?

and btw, the babycafe i go to, whilst it is for breastfeeding support, i know plenty of mums who arent breastfeeding who go there and its okay! its just if you need help breastfeeding there are health visitors and NCT advisors on hand to help, but mostly its mums sitting around chatting. i go to the friday morning one in chapeltown. if you wanted to meet up if you're feeling nervous, i could meet you there? my baby's a whopping 8.5 months now, but i first went when he was 3 weeks. it can get a bit crowded and hectic on the friday group though,especially after 11.30ish. wed afternoon has a bumps and babies group which is much smaller and manageable.

also, music and movement on a monday is good. my boy is too boisterous and toddler like to go now, but he went first at 6 weeks, and then til he was about 6 mths.

if there is a babycafe in meanwood, moortown or headingley, check it out, i promise nobody will look down on you for not breastfeeding, nor will it be the only subject of conversation!
we can talk more on the leeds site if you like!
