Help! I'm relatively new to town and need to find things to do with my 4-month old. I'd like to know what mommy/baby groups exist.
Thanks. |

Call The Goat Cafe on So. Orange Ave. The owner is a mom and a wonderful person. There's a mommy group that meets there. There is also an organization called, Mothers and More. Their website is..www.mothersandmore.org. |

Important to keep in mind that the New Moms coffee at The Goat is a Mothers and More event. You are able to attend one or two Mothers and More events free of charge, but then you are required to become a member if you'd like to continue.
If you've just moved here and have a small baby, it's definately a worthwhile investment, IMHO.
Welcome. |

Jennifer -
Absolutely. There are a handful of women in the group who are from WO and a few from Short Hills.
Here's the local chapter website: www.somamothers.org

Yes, definitely open to all. New Mom's meet at the Dancing Goat in SO at 11:30 - 1:30 on Tuesday's. Some Mom's come late, some leave early, some leave late, whatever works for you.
I think to join M&M is something like $40. DEFINITELY worth it.
Hope to meet you soon. I have a 4.5 month old son. Would be great to meet another one of his potential classmates.  |

How about groups for mommies-to-be? Anyone? |

I joined Mothers and More a while back, but haven't heard anything from the local chapter. The email address on the website keeps bouncing back to me. I really wanted to join for the local activites and I can't get access to the calendar until someone gives me access--any suggestions?
By the way, there's a deal on the site where you can join and get a discounted subscription to Brain, Child, which is a GREAT parenting magazine. |
