When did you join your MOMS group?

Dochas · September 2010

There is a MOMS group in my area. I'm happy because I didn't think there was one. How old was your little one when you joined? We're not mobile now so I don't know if I should wait until we are or do it now so I can start receiving the calendar. Thanks!

I joined at 15 mos, but that is only cause I did not SAHM until then. We were late starters, but from what I understand a lot of the moms had started the group around 6 weeks-12 weeks...

I joined back in 2007 when the Mom's group around here was first "born" and DS was about 2. Joining that group was the best decision EVER. I've met so many of my good friends through that group. We do at least 2-4 play dates every week. I love it.

When DD was 2 months. There were moms their who were pregnant and just wanted to get to know everyone, so I don't think its ever too early. I love our playgroup!

I joined when DS was 19 mos and B was 4 weeks old. If it's a MOMS Club chapter there is a group for expectant mom's and babies under 12 mos. Have you gone to any meetings? You are able to go to 1 or 2 mtgs without joining if you wanted to get a feel for it.

When DD was 1 month old. It was great. We had time to get to know each other before the kids started moving. They are all very close in age too (within 9 months of each other), so now that they are 4, they are all starting pre-k together.

DS's group has 8 kids, all within 3 months of each other and 7 of them are boys. We started when he was about 1 month too, and included some working moms for a bit and added a few other people as they went back to work. It is a great group.

I joined when DD was 1 month old. It really is a group designed to support Moms so it doesn't matter how old LO is when you join. I would even go to play dates at the park and just wear LO and hang out with all the other moms because I NEEDED adult interaction.

Just like PP said it was the best decision I ever made.

This, exactly. There are a couple moms who come to our events even if it's not age-appropriate just to hang out and talk. It's nice to help them with things that we have learned or that have helped us along the way, having older ones. We have even had an expecting mom or two along the way

I was a working mom until Ben was 17 months and then I was laid off. A week after being home, I was climbing the walls and joined the 2 moms groups that I belong to. Although, they aren't the MOMS Group/Club (whatever it's called). They are 2 moms groups that I found through meetup.com.

I joined when she was about 11 mos but never got around to participating until she was about 14-15 mos. I should NOT have waited. My Moms Club has been such a wonderful experience. I wish I'd had them to support me when I was going through those early months. So your child can't participate at the park, doesn't mean they (and you) can't benefit from the fresh air. And you'll appreciate having another adult to talk to! Do it!

If you can join now do so. I tried to join recently and my local groups were "full" and I was put on a waiting list. Boooo.

darlawoods · September 2010

We joined when our LO was 6 weeks old because I was having cabin fever and needed some adult interaction!

I joined when DD was 1 month old. They have supervised childcare, so the moms could hangout baby-free for 2 hours. Worked out great for us, and she learned to interact with other babies rigth from the get go.
