New Moms Group in Chicago supports first-time mothers of infants from birth to six months.

The New Moms Group is a professionally led education and peer support program designed for first-time mothers of babies aged birth to six months in Chicago. This group offers a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment where new mothers can discuss the ups and downs of early motherhood, including challenges with sleep, feeding, returning to work, and navigating changes in relationships with partners and friends. Participants exchange information, share experiences, and gain support during this complex adjustment stage that often combines excitement with anxiety. The program runs for six weeks and welcomes women seeking answers about infant development, temperament, and physical changes after pregnancy. As one participant noted, the diverse group of women from all parts of Chicago and the rule of 'no judgments' made the experience invaluable. While the primary focus is on first-time mothers, the group also acknowledges the ongoing need for support for second-time moms, offering a separate four-week session for them. The group aims to combat the isolation often felt during early parenthood by fostering genuine connection and providing a reliable community of understanding.
