To think I can go to any stay and play baby groups?

[kitten30]

Hi I am a new mum and I usually work full time. I have taken a year maternity leave and I am finding it wonderful but I do need adult conversation and something to do in the day. I have been to a few breast feeding groups and stay and play but I noticed a woman looking at me and being a bit 'put out' shall we say as I was attending a group which wasnt in the area I live in. I want to go to groups more regularly than the one in my immediate vicinity.

Have other people done this? Is it a kind of no no or what? I am confused?

Thanks Ladies.

I used to attend a surestart group that was out of my area. I also changed health visitor districts after I used another group outside of my area but held a weigh in. The key was that the workers could see as a new mum, I was finding it easier to meet people etc there and wasn't isolated compared to closer to home. I was invited along by a mumsnetter actually but once there and building a support network, it was respected as to why I chose them rather than home.

nannynick that's a shame - the one I used to go to in SE London was choc full of dads during the week as well as at the weekend - lots of dads working part time and free lance as well as SAHD.
