Hi Guys,

I'm a new mum of a nearly 10 week old baby boy and am looking to join a mothers group in my area (Rosebery, Sydney).
Any ideas on how this is organised?

Thanks

Have a look at Playgroup NSW site- they have a list of playgroups across the state.

Also the local Child and Family health centre might organise mother groups- you could try ringing them.

Good luck, I've found playgroups a great way to meet new friends, or at least a way to get out of the house for a few hours!

You should contact your local Maternal Child Health Nurse. They are the ones who usually organise the Mother's Groups.

The Early Childhood centre in my area organise something called an Early birds group. Is this the same thing?

The best thing I ever did was join the ABA (Australian Breastfeeding Association). We have "meetings" twice a month with a topic for discussion and then morning tea, and in the off weeks, we have a pram walking group.

You can find your local group here:

I'm also in Sydney and found my mother's group through the early childhood nurse. They ran an information morning once a week for babies up to 12 weeks old and then we branched off into our group.
