Motherhood is better with people beside you.

Choose based on your baby’s age at the beginning of term.

If your baby is on the cusp or fits within both age groups, always choose the younger group. For example, a baby who is four or five months old when term begins should join 0–5 months.

It’s completely fine if your baby grows beyond that age during the term. Growing alongside the other babies is part of the experience.

Absolutely. Raising Mamas is for first-time and experienced mums.

Every baby and every season of motherhood is different. Many of our returning mums tell us they value having dedicated time with their new baby and meeting people who understand this particular chapter.

Most mums arrive without knowing anyone else in the room, so you won’t be the only one.

Your facilitator will be there to welcome you, introduce you to the group and help you find your place on the mat. You don’t need to be naturally outgoing or arrive with a friend.

Babies are very welcome to be babies here.

You can feed, cuddle, change, settle or walk around with your baby whenever you need. Nobody expects your baby to follow the schedule, and you never need to apologise for tending to them.

We know how often sickness can interrupt plans when you have a baby. If you or your little one are unwell, we ask that you stay home and rejoin us the following week.

This helps us care for the other mums and babies in the group. Our sick policy is emailed at the beginning of term and pinned in each group chat, and all toys and play mats are sanitised after our sessions.

Life with a baby does not always go to plan. If you miss a week, you will remain part of the private group chat and will be warmly welcomed back at your next session.

We also often share helpful resources, presentation slides and the guest speaker’s contact details in the group chat after a session, so you can still access some of the information covered that week.

As each week is part of the full-term program, missed sessions are not refunded or credited.

Our weekly First Year sessions are created as a dedicated space for mums and their babies. Keeping the groups to mums and babies helps create a calm environment where everyone feels comfortable speaking openly and honestly.

We understand that organising care for older children is not always easy. However, partners, support people and older siblings are not able to attend the weekly sessions.

We know committing to a full term can feel like a big step, especially if you don’t know anyone yet.

We don’t offer trials or casual attendance because the heart of Raising Mamas is coming back to the same small group each week. That consistency gives everyone time to settle in, move beyond small talk and build genuine friendships.

Sometimes. If a group still has space, we may be able to welcome you after the term begins and adjust the price to reflect the remaining sessions.

Please get in touch and we’ll happily check what is available.

We understand that circumstances can change, particularly during pregnancy and life with a baby.

Bookings are non-refundable, but we may be able to transfer your place to another available group or defer it to a future term. Please contact us as soon as you can, and we’ll talk through the options with you.

Send us a message. We’re always happy to help you find the right group or answer any questions before you join us.
