New Moms Group

New Moms Groups and New Moms Mingles are amazing and unique ways to meet other new moms! Connect with other new moms who face the many changes, challenges and joys you are experiencing as a new parent.  Our FREE New Moms programming is just one way NPN supports new parents in the city.

The NPN New Moms Group Difference:

  • - NPN’s New Moms Groups are unique. Meetings are hosted by NPN volunteers in their homes. This personal touch allows women to feel more comfortable – no worries about nursing in public, heating up a bottle or comforting an unhappy baby. Feel right at home!
  • - FREE for members! Not yet a member? Join NPN today
  • - Babies in the groups should be between 2 and 5 months at the start of the group.
  • - Each group is limited to 8-10 members.
  • - Groups meet for 3 consecutive weeks and lead to ongoing playgroups!

If you are new mom, this is the group you’ve been looking for – RSVP today and meet a great group of women (and babies) to build long-lasting friendships with!

New Moms Mingles give you the chance to meet many new moms (and babies!) at bi-monthly get togethers at Bubbles Academy. These fun events incorporate break out sessions, open play and lots of mingling so you and baby both leave with new friends!

Maternity Leave Mingle

Transitioning Back to the Workforce

The first few weeks of motherhood can fly by! Before you know it, your maternity leave creeps to an end. Are you ready to re-enter the workforce as a new mom? Join NPN for a Maternity Leave Mingle. Meet other working moms on maternity leave to discuss the ups & downs of returning to work after baby.  Kiran Advani, owner of Cocoon Care and mother of one will be on hand to help you prepare for some of the emotional hurdles of going back to work and Jessica Minihan and Jenna Hilton from Olive You Nanny will discuss how to interview and manage expectations with nannies.  We'll have lots of time for questions/answers and mingling with other soon-to-be working moms.
