FINDING SUPPORT WITH AN OLDER BABY

Note: Groups are usually formed for women with babies from about 3 weeks to a maximum of 5 or 6 months. Occasionally moms with babies 6 to 7 months join a group, but the babies are becoming active and sometimes mothers are not interested in revisiting the journey of the first few months. Depending on the season of the year, however, all these children are in an age cohort to go to pre school and kindergarten together. Therefore, some mothers overlook the age discrepancy in favor of building community with women they like who live near them.
