Whether it's your first born or one of many, having a new born can be challenging even more so with Covid. Our support Networks create a relaxed social and professional environment in a convenient setting with new Mums and Babies to help you share, alleviate and cope with those challenges. Please note the Networks are developed by professionals (PHN/Midwife) and you may be entitled to refunds with your health provider.(due to Covid-19 meetings will be held virtually).The weekly virtually meetings with Networking Mothers Ireland™, with between 5 to 12 mums & babies, provides a place to learn with our professionals , socialise, connect and rejuvenate as you make the transition into motherhood. Being understood by other parents will enable you to be a happy parent, and this is the most important factor in the development of a happy baby. 

How it Works: 

1. After you've submitted the form on our Join A Group registration page, we will choose the right group near you, matching with the age/birth month of your new baby or baby-to-be.

2. In the first three meetings, you will receive professional support from a PHN/Midwife trained in the Network model. This facilitation lays the foundations for a long-term bond of support and friendship.

3. Your network will meet every week virtually for 1-2 hours, this will be your opportunity to sit back, have a cup of coffee, share your baby's milestones, while gaining confidence & understanding through discussion and interactive learning with other mothers and professional experts instead relying on Dr. Google!

4. After a number of facilialiated meetings, based on our researched principles, the group will then be led and organised by the members themselves to support you through the rest of your maternity leave and beyond. The benefits are amazing - trusted friendly WhatsApp group chats, coffee meet ups, playdate activities, mum's night out, and so much more to share together and help you enjoy motherhood.

5. The transition back to work or the dread of returning to work is made easier as your network group continues to meet and support you. We have exciting things ahead now that we are virtual.

6. We will also plan to facilitate access and engagement with a number of experts who can give your group input on various topics of your network's choice. Now more then ever before do you need this support!.
