If this is your first baby and you don't know many other people with babies it can be a little awkward just joining in a play group. What we did first were baby music classes, which in turn caused us to meet a lot of new baby's. Then we were told about a weekly play date at a local park. Once it gets too cold to have out doors we will more somewhere else. My point is that even though it can be very uncomfortable to me the "new mom" it is very good for you and your little one to try new things, especially if you can to it together! The thing is that normally the other moms are very nice, and maybe it's because at sometime or another they have all been the new mom too!

If you are a working mom and your are doing these things while you are taking time off it is a great way to meet stay at home moms that could make for good babysitters!
