Getting support
We believe that it's important for every mum to get help,
support and a bit of freedom. Here are some ideas that
have worked for us:
- If you've got hands on grandparents make the most
of them;
- Find your local parent and toddler group. Your health
visitor should know where they meet or if this fails
try your local library;
- Offer to baby sit for friends, hopefully they'll
be happy to return the favour;
- Call round your local swimming pools and leisure
centres. Many offer crèche facilities that
even take babies;
- Try to organise a regular night out. If you go out
with girl friends, make it a regular weekly or monthly
date, so your partner/babysitter can plan ahead and
always be there to cover. Also a regular date, booked
in advance means that you are far more likely to get
geared up to make it out of the door;
- If you have no grandparent support at hand, getting
to know a good local childminder is helpful. Even
if you don't use her every week, if you keep in touch
he/she is far more likely to help you out if you are
desperate.
If you have any more ideas that have worked for you
or would like to share your own experiences please email:

Meet-a-Mum
Association (MAMA)
MAMA is a registered charity which aims
to provide friendship and support to
all mothers and mothers-to-be, especially
those feeling lonely or isolated after
the birth of a baby or moving to a new
area.
By attending a local
MAMA group, mums become part of a
network of women wanting to make new
friends and support each other through
good times and bad. If there is no
local group in the area, we try to
put mums in touch with other mums
on a one-to-one basis for friendship
and support.
