Making mum friends

I moved a couple of months ago. My second is 7 weeks old now, I also have a 2 year old. I'm just starting to feel ready to come out of hibernation and would like a coffeeshop buddy. I am however socially inept.

Our new next door neighbours are very friendly and have a 4 month old. They came to say hi when we first moved in and the woman said we'll have to go for a coffee sometime as both on maternity leave. I don't know if she really intended for us to go out for coffee or if it's one of those things that you just say? I don't have her number or anything and I feel really weird about knocking for her and asking if she wants to come out and play. Should I wait for her to make the first move?

Pop a note through her door with your number on it

Next time you see her, be prepared with a "how about that coffee? Let's exchange numbers".

Are there any local baby groups? I found local friends at the library music group, the children’s centre (if it’s still open) and at church hall toddlers.

Knock for her to go to get babies weighed together, rather than "play out" Wink
