Drifting from friends after becoming a mother is one of the most common experiences—it's about your life's focus naturally shifting, not about your effort. What matters is finding a social life that fits your new reality, not returning to your old one.
A start: be honest with one or two closest friends. Offer something small and specific: "I can't do long plans, but I could grab a quick coffee." Daytime hangouts you can bring baby to (a park, inviting someone over) often turn out to be sustainable. Meeting other mothers at the same stage—at playgrounds, groups, or in Maiyko's community—can also help build a new social circle.
Also remember: you don't need to do something social every week. Even one short meetup a month keeps bonds alive. The rest spreads over time.
