You've got a friend in me

Many moms tend to drift toward peers who practice similar parenting philosophies, but don’t count someone out as a potential companion simply because you don’t immediately have much in common. Mothering tends to break through barriers and unite folks who might not otherwise connect, so give that co-sleeping (or sleep-training) gal a chance. She might just become your new BFF.
For your sanity, try to find at least one friend who’s close enough to help you out in a pinch. You never know when you might need someone who can—and will—be by your side within minutes of your call.
[note] While many moms have doubts about their decision to breed and might briefly consider buying a one-way ticket (no infant-in-arms) to a tropical beach somewhere, thoughts of harming or neglecting your baby are never OK. If you’re experiencing potentially dangerous feelings, let your healthcare provider know. It could be a sign of postpartum depression or a more serious disorder.
