I start with simple messaging. That way I don't feel pressure to meet up or socialise unless I want to.

If at that point I feel like I can talk to a person fairly regularly we may swap numbers. And only if I feel comfortable I will meet up.

I have met up with one person and that took maybe 5 months.

Well, you have just got to try, right? If you don't try you will never get anywhere or make any friends. You will have some hit and mix experiences for sure but that's how we grow and move forward and evolve as the excellent, strong women and mothers that we are, right? Like, I have bad anxiety. It is easier to text someone than meet face to face. Text some mums, some will reply, some may not. There loss really!! Just ask yourself, do you want to remain lonely? Cause I sure as hell don't! This is your individual journey, embrace it and give it a try!! You're on the right track.... I won't mum friends too. We have to try or we get no where

A lot of us don’t, but that doesn’t mean we never will. When we’re working with a disadvantage it’s just harder, but it’s so meaningful when we finally do it.

I think that we especially have a hard time, though, because we don’t realize we could be talking to someone who is also very socially awkward? I don’t know, I’m in the same position as you so… just don’t give up 🌻

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Vitamins

Little one is now 6 months old and the Health Visitor recommended that we start giving her some vitamins. Anyone got any recommendations of good brands/where to buy these? Thanks ☺️
