Does anyone know of any mom/baby groups that meet in Lakeland or Bartow. I have a 3 week old and would like to meet other moms with babies.

There is a Mommy and Me meet up group that meets at Family Fundamentals which is located on the second floor of the big building on the corner of Memorial and Lakeland Hills Boulevard.

If you call (863) 686-1221 they can tell you when the meetings are - when I used to go it was Wed or Thurs mornings from 10am til 11:30.

I started going here when my daughter was 2 months old and met wonderful women there and made great friends whom I still see regularly.

The group is facilitated by Juli Davis, and she is also a certified Car Seat Technician, and has lots of advice on kids and their car seats.

There's a mom's playgroup at Highland Park Chuch of the Nazarene in south Lakeland. They meet on Thursday mornings at 10am in the Family Ministries Building across the street from the church. Mom's get to visit with each other while the kids play in the same room. The age group of the children is anywhere from a few weeks old to about 3 or 4 yrs old. It's still kind of small, they just started it. If I hear of anything else, I will post it.

I am part of a moms group, Polk PlayGroup. We have a site www.polkplaygroup.com or you can email at admin@polkplaygroup.com. We meet twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays at 10am. Our playdates are in Lakeland and Bartow at parks and other locations. We also have a monthly Mom's Night Out, and Holiday events. There's no fee to join. It's just nice to get out and meet other moms and let the kids socialize.

thank you for letting us know about the playgroup web site. i signed up and am looking forward to the first playgroup in bartow.

good for you Courtney, you may have even seen Wendy at Book babies in Bartow, that is where I met her. Let us know what you think!

Thank you for posting this infomation Wendy!

i will let you know how it is. the play group is in a couple weeks because the bartow location is the easiest for me to get to. we were at book babies today. we look forward to it every week it's soo much fun. the kids love it.

We missed Book Babies today... I completely forgot about it. I guess I keep thinking everyone is on Spring Break with the kids

Me to Wendy, I really wanted to go. Hopefully I will remember to go next time
