Socialising with other mums and dads while your baby is newborn can offer more benefits than you might think. These kind of spaces are really great for you to meet other people and you don't necessarily have to come to a caf茅, I think you'll find as long as you're pushing a buggy anywhere, someone always wants to talk to you about your baby.
You can pick up advice from other people who are in the same situation as you, and even if they don't have all of the answers sometimes it's enough just to know that there are other people dealing with sleepless nights and changing ten nappies a day.
When you've got a newborn, you might be spending a lot of time in the house but, as Dr Michelle Peter explains, it's good to get out and share your experiences with other parents too.
