We cannot emphasize enough the importance of hanging out with other women who are doing what you’re doing. Swaddling, nursing, trying out bottles, using front carriers, swings – these are some of the things you’ll discuss. But there are also the sensitive issues of body image, careers, and relationships.

It’s quite likely that you and your partner are experiencing parenting a little differently. Finding other women with whom you can share your experiences is important. Furthermore, it is an excellent motivator to get you out of the house.

The First Time Moms’ group (Nigeria) is a wonderful opportunity to meet other new mothers, and to speak honestly about the challenges and joys of this important change of life! Take time for yourself to talk through big changes and connect with and support other women on the same journey.

To join the group, kindly click here

Matters arising can be discussed here for the benefit of others.

Answers to questions raised will be answered by top and influential moms who are accomplished in their different fields and other well-experienced moms.

Too many personal information required just to be part of an online mommy group, Asides the regular Q and As plus sharing of life experiences are there any other reasons why I need to include my address, phone number and full names?

Is it also going to be an offline thing where mommys can meet one on one or in groups with their kids? If so where and do you have such groups outside lagos? (I'm presuming your location is in Lagos).

Is there another platform for the proposed interaction or will it just be here on nairaland?

Who are the people behind this initiative e.g the professionals you mentioned are there doctors, marriage counselors, health and fitness experts, nutritionist amongst them?


Is it only open to women or can daddy's also be involved?

Thank you

Well, to be precise, full names, location, phone number and e-mail addresses of the group members are to be stored in a database to be used for identity tracking, information dissemination amongst others as required by the facilitators but presently, its not a necessity as the form's link has been replaced.

The Mission is to create an online moms' support group that will further translate into a mom's club where moms can meet one on one or in groups with their kids and discuss plus have fun. These clubs will be all over the country but at major cities depending on the number of participants from such cities or states.

The proposed interaction is solely via WhatsApp and the link has been posted on the first page.

This is the first launch of the msmNG platform and the group is expected to grow rapidly being the first online support group for moms in Nigeria. Doctors, marriage counselors, health and fitness experts, nutritionist, Pediatricians, etc are on hand to give free and real-time counselling and support to everyone in the group.

At the moment, the group is only for moms nationwide. dads are not welcome to the group...........

We have a new mothers /mothers forum here on nairaland, so I don't know what your aim is and the anonymity here on nairaland is perfect.

By identity tracking , it simply connotes knowing "who is who" on the platform to see ways such individuals can be supported or support others. Say we have a pediatrician on the platform and we can actually verify professionalism, we can simply refer moms for counselling sessions and such like.

Thanks madam, some working-class moms can not afford the luxury of following up always. Kindly peruse the mission and vision of this newly-launched platform, msmNG, and see its uniqueness. Its something that'll translate into a real group or mom's club soon.

On the thread link I posted, mothers living in a particular area are free to set up a mommy and me group/book club. Please read back and see efforts made.

So are you saying that mom's would pay for entry later on?

Hi you mentioned facilitators up there who are they and are you also a mom? Ftm or experienced mom? Or a go between e.g Agent?


Secondly it will be via WhatsApp and that means phone numbers and real faces? Are you the coordinator of the WhatsApp group or is there someone else behind the scene? If there is are they male or female

Thirdly the doctors, Pediatricians, food and health experts etc that will offer counseling are they already on ground and part of the msmNG group? Or the facilitators will source for them when the group has been established with enough members?


Lastly does msmNg have a website or Facebook or Twitter or mail address? Or is this forum the ONLY identity tree msmNg has got? Cos I searched google and nothing came up.

I'm just being curious and careful about giving out my detail to some unknown person over the net, i want to be sure this is not another phishing technique to gather email and phone number for some company.


Now other mom support groups I've come across don't ask or request for phone numbers! Except the moms decides to relate to other members offline, even so the moderators still advise members to be wary of whom they make contact with.

The professionals are the ones who drop their contact details for members to connect and not the other way round.


Technically there is no msmNg group for now? The women who sign up will be the pioneers right?


So many questions right? Well let's say I'm a pessimistic realist

Hi Mummies,
My sister is desperately looking for a good maternity hospital in Egbeda Lagos.

The hospital that she goes to keeps telling her there are complications and we need a good hospital for a better opinion.

Please help!

Hello bro.. Have you guys gotten the hospital? If no, I will advice she goes to Subol Hospital or Crystal hospital around vulcanizer bus stop or so.

Becoming a mother is the start of a journey that can bring great joy, pride and happiness as well as worries and challenges. Most mums work things out as they go along and grown into their role over time. The most important thing mothers can do is make sure children feel loved, safe and secure. Mothering is also influenced by whether you are in a two-parent home, a single mum, separated from your child’s father, a step-mum or a same-sex parent. Mums have often been seen as the parent who provides most of the love and nurturing, while dads are the bread winner or disciplinarian.
Becoming a mother is the beginning of a jouney full of joy, pride, and happiness,

Mothering is influenced by whether you are a two-parent family, a single mother who is separated from your child's father, a stepmother, or a parent of the same gender.

Mums are frequently viewed as the parent who provides the majority of the love and nurturing, whilst dads are the breadwinners or the disciplinarians.
This is changing, and more parental responsibilities are being shared. The development of youngsters is aided by dad's loving attention, according to research.
It works best when mothers and fathers, whether they live together or not, collaborate and support one another in their parenting.
When a baby is born, there are a lot of adjustments to be made. The demands of your infant now take precedence over everything else in your life.
