Some of the comments from the moms include 

Thank you so much for the fantastic group.I have learnt so much about being a mom and about myself and have made some special friendships too.
We will never forget this wonderful experience.
The group was a lifesaver  I don't know what I would have done without it.
I found it very helpful in the early months

From the beginning of this year, we have encouraged pregnant Moms to join in our group to prepare them for their journey INTO motherhood.

Those who attended, have given positive feedback that they have found helpful advice on what to buy/not buy or do/not do or read/not read etc!!

When they return to the group with their tiny new babies, they are given such a warm welcome by the other Moms who encourage, support and motivate them.

We had about 140 Moms and babes at the group this year. Most of these are babes in arms, we always had a little fun in the group as in days gone by, Moms made sure their littlies graduated to sitting on the blanket on the floor before they returned to work, but now most of the babes are about 4 months old when the Moms leave the group and they are still being cuddled on their laps.

Daycare for babies is a MAJOR concern for Moms and we held a brainstorming session, and discussed different alternatives. We have circulated an article written for this, giving moms different options.

We have had so many new speakers this year. It is so reassuring to meet others who are so passionate about their subject and sincerely interested in and concerned about the wellbeing of moms and babies.

We are looking forward to meeting lots of new Moms to be and Moms and babies in 2010.
