i go to a few, ive always gone to breastfeeding groups, then baby massage, baby swimming sessions and a playgroup. Alyssa loves them, the playgroup has so many new toys she goes mad running round, chatting to ppl and playing with the toys. she really likes other babies now but at first she was unsure of them and ignored them where now she gives them toys or tries to talk to them, its really cute. i think its important for her to learn social skills now where i can guide her rather than just throwing her into the deep end when she goes to preschool or nursery whatever lol. i personally wouldnt bother if it wasnt for her benefit, i dont have may friends and im not that bothered about making any but i do think its really good for her to be independant and play well with others. swimming is a great skill for any child to learn and she loves it so much that id go even if i was afraid of water, thats how happy it makes her. baby massage was fun for the first 6 months then she got too squirmy and i go to a book group in the local library where they sing and play which she loves
