Thanks for the advice - looking forward to meeting other mums here. This is a great site!

I definitely recommend contacting the NCT& doing a 'postnatal course' - it was a 'NCT postnatal tea' back in my day but 6 or so years on I still have some great friends I met there. Also try some of the play groups at St Marks Battersea Rise, St Michaels Cobham Close & St Luke's on Thurleigh Rd - all good places to meet people!

Hi new mum in Northcote Road - why not come on an NCT postnatal course - a really fab way to make a new group of friends instantly in the area. We are running our next course in February: http://www.nct.org.uk/course/16084287

I've just moved to the area from east London, but originally from the US. Have 3 mo old in tow - would love to meet some neighbours for coffee while baby naps (fingers crossed) in pram!
