DEAR DEIDRE: I TOOK my two-month old daughter to a mother and baby group, but I felt like all the other mothers were judging me.
I love my baby but I want more than just to sit at home with her.
I’m 34 and have always dreamt of having a family with my partner, 36.
I expected to find it fulfilling. Instead, it’s mind-numbingly dull – just feeding, changing and no conversation. I miss adult company, even work.
The other mothers I met all seemed so happy. All they wanted to talk about was their babies, and when I tried to change the topic, they made me feel I was weird.
Am I a terrible mother?

DEIDRE SAYS: Of course not. Many women feel just like you do. Perhaps you need to find a different mother and baby group where you will meet like-minded mums.
Visit home-start.org.uk (08000 68 63 68), which helps parents with young children.
You could also try Peanut, a friendship app for women at similar life stages.
If you feel you may have postnatal depression, talk to your GP or midwife.
