:
When my dd was first born (ok so exaggerating a little
, I didn't do much but sit around in my pjs and nurse Anna until she was at least 3-4 months
: ) I was having a hard time meeting mamas in my area that I could relate to. After being to a few playgroups in my area when my dd was a tiny one, where most everyone discussed their baby's 'schedules', how well CIO works
: , when they were weaning (if they BF in the first place) and then thought the fact that I coslept and cloth diapered was 'such an inconvience to me'
I looked on the tribal areas forum. I'm not saying that I only want to hang out with people that are exactly like me and only do the same things :LOL but those ladies were not very open minded.
I have found that even if I only have met a few AP moms in my area (who are great btw!!!
) that their positive influence on my life is worth having less 'mommy friends' and going to less playdates. I would definitely check out the tribal areas forum and see if there are some mamas in your area! I'm really glad I did
Good luck finding a playgroup for you and your dc!
