Desperate for mum friends

I have a son who is almost two. I work part time and am home with him for the rest of the week. I’ve tried going to toddler groups and classes but have struggled to meet other mums, mainly because I’m quite shy/socially awkward and I also just haven’t found anyone I’ve gelled with. I joined an NCT group when I was pregnant but it fizzled out months ago, although we’re all still technically in touch via group chat.

I’m just really lonely and wish I had some other mums to meet with for coffees, play dates and the like. Any ideas how I can make it happen?

Post on your local fb mums group saying you’re new to the area and looking to meet other mums of toddlers to hang out with. I did and am still friends with some of the people 2 years later.

Another vote for Peanut app here, it's been brilliant for me! I met loads of women on it who were pregnant the same time as me and we started a WhatsApp group, now we all have kids the same age and have our own mum group for playdates and advice!
