Baby friends

I feel so guilty that my baby doesn't have friends but I feel so ridiculous because he's only 1. But I don't have any mum friends, my siblings don't have kids so he doesn't have any cousins. I try my best at playgroup but nobody really talks to each other.. I don't really know what to do. I know he'll probably make friends himself in couple years when he's going to nursery/clubs etc, but I just feel guilty that he isn't getting to interact much with other babies at the moment..

I feel exactly the same, there was a post about this the other day and lots of women feel the same. I take my baby to the park and it makes me so sad seeing her waving at all the kids and she tries to cuddle the other babies. I know she would love baby friends but it just hasn’t worked out that way.

Don't be hard on yourselves ladies this is the classic first baby or one and done situation. My first was the same, we have one cousin who is 8 so not exactly a baby friend. We just moved before she was born so no friends in the area either. She is 2.5 half now and absolutely thriving, she's made a handful of friends at the childminder but still her little clic is me, dad, nanny, grandad, uncle, aunty... she is fabulous when she comes across other kids her age or a little older. Don't feel bad, don't feel like your kids need a sibling, know you're babies will be fine and fabulous x

My eldest was in nursery at 8 months and still didn't have proper friends until she started school. My youngest goes to plenty of baby groups and doesn't have friends either but it's all I can do...I'm still getting her interacting with others which helps

my baby does go to nursery 3 days a week and I still feel it in my gut when he starts watching and waving at other kids at soft play, feeling bad I don’t have any friends for him 😂😭 but he does have a cousin similar age that lives out of town, and when they see each other they don’t acknowledge each other that much anyways so don’t feel too bad haha!
