Anyone else find baby classes cliquey?

I’ve never joined a baby class, but I have gone to a mom walk group and definitely feel this 100%. This whole clique feeling definitely plays a role in me feeling so shy in attending any events. I mean, even on here I’ve already messaged several people and haven’t heard back.

I've had several baby classes. We are going for the information not to make friends so I personally have not experienced this. If you're looking to make friends, idk how old you are but as an adult it is very hard. I would suggest taking your baby to the park when it is old enough and start talking to moms there. Sign baby up for classes when its a little older like a swim class or you can find toddler events. Talk to moms there. Don't stress yourself out over trying to make friends.

I find it difficult to make friends from baby groups. I have friends from my nct and I always offer anyone if they are up for it a coffee afterwards. It's difficult because everyone is from a different social economics, cultural background. But in non baby life I have friends from all ethnicities, social economic background different jobs, ages etc. I think the problem is sometimes people differences as a barrier.

Also I get a bit bored by the small talk. My baby is huge and has hair... so naturally other mums say aw lovely hair and how old is he and then they are shocked when he's younger than he looks. Sometimes I struggle to think of what to say apart from how have you been and your baby is gorgeous... because I'm running on 2 hours sleep. Maybe I'm bored about chatting about babies and want to talk about politics, music etc.

I feel like on this app people want to make friends but don’t put in the effort to engage, that’s what I’ve dealt with. I created a mum group so I can organise and have people attend for the sole purpose of making friends. Hoping it works out for most of them 🤞🏾
