New Mom Groups

Blooma– New mom & baby heaven. The (free!) new mom’s group will get you though that crazy postpartum time, and it’s also where I met a lot of my new mama friends.  There is also a free breastfeeding support class.

Twin Cities Birth Center– Free new mama group every Tuesday.

Amma Parenting Center – They have both mom groups you pay for and meet with every week, and a free playgroup.

Your Local Library– If I could put your local library in every category, I totally would. Ours has a free breastfeeding support class, and the infant/toddler storytimes are the perfect way to start venturing into the world after baby!
