Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself...I'm a late in life, first time mom (after several years of trying) and would love to meet other local parents. My daughter is two months old and I'm due to go back to work next month...looking for tips/recommendations for childcare, or, even better, ways of staying at home with my daughter. I live with my husband and crazy dog in the Westville area of New Haven.

I just joined and saw your post. I'm also a later-in-life new mom. My daughter is now 18 months old, but we moved here right before she was born so are still working on meeting other parents in the area. I live in Whitneyville and work in downtown New Haven. My husband is a stay at home/work at home dad. We've looked into lots of different childcare options in the area, and I'm happy to share if you're still looking for ideas.
