I have a 4 month old daughter who I would like to take to some mom groups, but it seems that they are all on week days during the AM. As a working mom, I am not able to attend these. Do you know if there are local groups that meet on the weekends?
I don't know of a mom group that meets solely on the weekends. A couple of the groups in town I think have occasional weekend gatherings. Here is some information on various group. Also, like Melanie said check out mygym. It's perfect for a 4 month old. I would also recommend keeping an eye on our event calendar. There are random events throughout the city to keep you busy on the weekend. Also believe it or not.... Starbucks or any restaurant or coffee house is a great way to meet other moms!
Lastly, this network is a great place to make friends. You can make friends online (search for members) develop a virtual relationship, then meet in person! Good luck. I hope these suggestions help!
Thanks ladies! I did check out My Gym and they offer Saturday classes for kids her age, but it goes up to 18mths and the lady didn't think it would be as beneficial to her as one of the week day classes.
I'm a member of two groups on meetup.com one is the bakersfield playgroup and the other is Bakersfield Stay At Home Moms... I am a stay at home mom but it's hard for me to get out during the day. These groups try to make it possible for everyone to meet up. http://www.meetup.com/The-Bakersfield-Playgroup
I'm familiar with the Bakersfield Playgroup and I can tell you there are children of various ages. From pregnant moms to infants to toddlers and up. Sign-up and check out the calendar. :)
I tried the My Gym class on Saturday...it was a fun place, but there definitely were not kids there her own age. Most of them were sufficient walkers and Kelly is only 4mos (barely crawling). When she gets older, definitely, but not right now.
We have a kids and parents yoga class that meets on Thursdays at 5:30 in the Southwest that would be after work and accomodates infants. www.yogalinksbakersfield.com
