What do you want advice on?
Your friends will change for sure. Get yourself to a parent and toddler group or other group suited to your liking and you'll get some shiny new friends with kids the same age and therefore similar interests. There's a whole new world out there now that you have a little one!

You will gradually make new friends, I had my first DD when I was 18, and I lost all my friends that I had before becoming a mum.
Try the groups, I made friends when my dd started nursery and school etc.

Since having my daughter my friends slowly drifted away from me even my best friend of 23 years! It’s horrible, I know how your feeling! Only one friend I see who has a 3 year old! We don’t go out together on outings we just have coffee catch ups over my house! I’m going to start going to mother & baby groups to make friends. I’ve got used to it now, but some times I do often think of my old best friend but then I get bitter and think to myself why am I bothering? If she wanted to speak to me she has my number! Get yourself to mother & baby groups and meet new friends Smile
