Bit of a lurker coming out of the woodwork here but need some advice.
I am a new mum to a 7 week old. Not many friends locally with babies, have made some good NCT buddies but I have noticed that the couple directly opposite (living rooms look directly onto each other from different sides of the street) have also recently had a baby. Often I will see her in the house with baby during the day and want to hold up a hello sign or wave baby in the window shouting 'Snap!'
Thing is, I'm not that confident and usually wait for others to make the first move so am unsure if I should or how I would go about befriending this woman (we might not get on at all but it would be nice to have a baby buddy right across the road.)
Bur if I knocked on the door or dropped a note through would I seem like a weirdo window watcher? We do live in the same street so don't want her to think I am a freaky stalker!! You know what londoners are like, no one ever even makes eye contact let alone extend the tentative hand of friendship so tell me, would I be unreasonable to try and introduce myself and if no, how to go about it?!!
