Getting Started on CafeMom

How do I start meeting other moms?

1. Join a Group
   Moms have conversations in Groups by posting and replying to each other. A great group to get started in is the Newcomers Club. You can also join these different types of groups:

   • Hang Out & Talk Groups - talk about anything and everything: personal stories, support, current events, mom confessions, and more.
   • Parenting Talk & Advice Groups - find moms who have kids the same age as yours or who share similar lifestyles.
   • Interests & Lifestyle Talk Groups - talk with moms who share your interests - hobbies, recipes, weight loss, money saving ideas and more!
2. Start Talking
   • Find recent conversations across all of our Groups by browsing through Active Posts.
   • Once you join groups, get to know the other moms on CafeMom by Posting and Replying in your groups. You can even start out slowly by just Liking posts or replies that you find interesting.
   • Use the Quote feature when replying to respond directly to another mom's reply.
   • Follow up on your conversations using the My Activity tab at the top of every page.
3. Make friends along the way
   • If you'd like to get to know a mom better, send her a Friend Invite or Message.
   • You can see messages you receieve by clicking the My Messages tab at the top of every page.
4. Don't forget to fill out your profile
   Filling out your profile page is the best way to show everyone who you are.

   • Upload a profile picture. Moms want to know who they're talking to.
   • Tell us all about your kids! How old are they? What do they like to do?
   • Write your personal statement. If you're not sure where to start, a list of 10 things about you is a good way to get going.
   • Share your interests to see what you have in common with other moms.
