Mamma!

Private·8 Mamma's

About

Welcome to our online community for mothers and expecting mothers!, created by Oupa Jan, who wishes to share his insights and knowledge with the community he so loves.

This group stems from him witnessing his children, daughters, sons, nieces, nephews, friends children starting the journeys of becoming parents, and he wishes to share the lessons and knowledge him and Ouma learnt over the years, combined with the collective knowledge that exists in the world today, hence the Mamma Group.

Please Note: This group is for the purpose of sharing experiences, offering guidance, and providing support to one another on issues related to getting pregnant, being pregnant, and raising and caring for newborns to toddlers.
