Signature mothers groups
A supportive space for connection, community and conversation.
More than a mothers group.
Building community through genuine connection and meaningful conversation.
Bringing together mums in early motherhood.
Our Signature Mothers Groups bring together mums with babies of a similar age, creating a space for connection, community and conversation in early motherhood. Each week, you'll settle into our warm, purpose built space designed to support both you and your baby.
The focus is on building genuine connection within the group, growing your confidence as a mum, and feeling supported by other mums who are at a similar stage.
Over 8 weeks, you'll hear from trusted specialists and engage in conversations around topics most relevant to your stage of motherhood, with a strong focus on maternal health and wellbeing.
Your Signature Mothers Group Experience
8 weeks
Bringing the same mums together each week, allowing for meaningful conversations and genuine connections.
2 hours
A balance of specialist guidance, open conversation and relaxed time together.
Small groups
Intentionally kept small, bringing together mums with babies of a similar age.
Expert support
Trusted specialists sharing guidance on topics relevant to your stage of motherhood.
babies aged 2 -4 months
Those first few months of motherhood can be a time of enormous change, with so much to learn, experience and adjust to. Our 2–4 month groups offer a welcoming space to share those early experiences, ask questions and connect with other mums who understand what this stage of motherhood can look like.
With a focus on postpartum recovery, maternal health and wellbeing, and caring for your baby, our hope is that you leave each week feeling supported, informed and a little more connected.
babies aged 4 - 6 Months
As your baby grows, motherhood brings new experiences, questions and conversations. Our 4–6 month groups continue that support, with a greater focus on the changing dynamics of family life, relationships, your baby's development and the experiences that come with this next stage.
Alongside guidance from trusted specialists, there's plenty of time for open conversation, shared experiences and building genuine friendships with other mums.

Words From Our Community
“I've loved bonding with other mothers as we learn and navigate motherhood together.”
Jessica — First Time Mum
More Than
a Mothers Group
At the heart of our Mothers Groups is the community we build. Bringing mums together each week creates the opportunity for open conversations, shared experiences and genuine friendships, with support from trusted specialists along the way.
We created From Day One because we believe motherhood deserves more spaces where women can come together, feel heard and find support in one another. Somewhere that makes room for honest conversations, different experiences and the understanding that there's no one way to navigate motherhood.
As the weeks go by, familiar faces become friendships, conversations continue outside the group, and connections begin to extend well beyond the time spent together at From Day One.
our supportive space
Our space has been thoughtfully designed with both mums and babies in mind, creating a home away from home where everything you need is on hand, so you can arrive and settle in with ease.
With pram parking, feeding chairs, age appropriate toys, stocked change stations and a kitchenette, everything is here to support you in a practical way.
You'll be welcomed each week with a warm drink and homemade snacks on arrival, before settling in for the session, with the space available throughout for whatever you need, whether that's feeding, settling your baby or simply taking a moment.
frequently asked questions
Each week, you'll join the same group of mums and babies for a relaxed two hour session at From Day One, with each week centred around a particular topic relevant to your stage of motherhood.
The first hour is guided by one of our trusted specialists, creating an opportunity to learn, ask questions and have open conversations around the week's topic. The second hour is dedicated to connection, giving you time to get to know the other mums, share experiences and enjoy some relaxed time together.
There will always be a warm drink and something to eat, with the flexibility to feed, settle or tend to your baby whenever you need.
Your booking includes eight weekly, two hour sessions with our wonderful guest specialists, along with plenty of time to connect with the other mums in your group.
Each week, we'll have warm drinks and homemade snacks waiting for you, and our space is yours to settle into and enjoy. We've thought of all the little things that make getting out of the house with a baby that bit easier, from comfortable feeding chairs and age appropriate toys to fully stocked change stations with nappies, wipes and all the essentials you might need.
We'll also share resources from our specialists throughout the program, so you can revisit the conversations and information from each week.
Not at all! Our Signature Mothers Groups have been designed to be enjoyed alongside your council Mothers Group, offering something a little different, with a greater focus on maternal health and wellbeing.
We know so much of early motherhood revolves around caring for your baby, but there's also an enormous amount of change and adjustment happening for you as a mum. We wanted to create a space where you can come together, feel looked after and have your own questions answered. Each week, we bring trusted specialists to you, creating space for conversations around your health and wellbeing, the changes in your relationships and sense of self, and all the adjustments that come with motherhood, in a welcoming environment where there's no judgement and every question is welcome.
We absolutely encourage you to join your local council Mothers Group too. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet mums in your neighbourhood, while our groups bring together mums from all across Melbourne. Our eight week programs allow time for genuine friendships to form, with many mums choosing to continue into the next age group and spend up to 16 weeks together at From Day One.
Not at all! While we're based in Prahran, we welcome mums from all across Melbourne, with many travelling from different suburbs to join our groups.
You don't need to live nearby or know anyone before coming along. Our groups bring together mums with babies of a similar age, creating an opportunity to meet new people, share experiences and build friendships beyond your immediate neighbourhood.
Our age ranges are offered as a guide to help bring together mums with babies of a similar age, rather than a strict rule. Each program is thoughtfully designed around topics and conversations most relevant to that stage of motherhood.
If you're looking for connection and support a little earlier, we'd love to welcome you. Equally, if your baby is a little older than the suggested age range, that's absolutely okay too!
We always do our best to bring together mums with babies at a similar stage, so if you're unsure which group would be the best fit, please get in touch. We're always happy to chat through the options and help guide you.
Our Signature Mothers Groups are thoughtfully designed for the earlier stages of motherhood, with topics and conversations most relevant to mums with babies aged 2 to 6 months. While there's some flexibility around these ages, we generally wouldn't recommend joining with an older baby, as the content may not be as relevant to your current stage.
We've also thoughtfully designed our space to welcome mums with babies aged six months and older, with experiences better suited to their growing needs. From our open Playgroups and Play Classes focused on learning and development (coming soon), to some of our much loved community events like Babies & Bubbles, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with other mums and enjoy time together with your little one.
If you're unsure which offering would be the best fit for you and your baby, please get in touch. We'd love to help guide you towards something suitable for your stage of motherhood.
We release our Signature Mothers Groups progressively throughout the year, so the dates you see on our website aren't necessarily all the groups we have planned.
We also intentionally keep our groups small, which means some sessions can fill up quickly!
If you can't see a group that suits your baby's age or your availability, or your preferred group is already fully booked, please get in touch. We'd be happy to let you know about upcoming groups, keep you in mind if a place becomes available, or help you explore another suitable option for you and your baby.
We completely understand that life with a baby can be unpredictable, and sometimes things don't go to plan!
If you're unable to make it to a session, simply let us know. We'll share any relevant resources from the week's specialist so you can catch up on the information covered.
Where possible, we may also be able to arrange for you to attend a session with another Mothers Group covering the topic you've missed, subject to availability. While we can't always guarantee this, we'll do our best to accommodate you.
We intentionally keep our Signature Mothers Groups small, typically bringing together around 8 to 10 mums and their babies.
We find this creates a lovely balance, with enough mums to bring different experiences and perspectives to the conversation, while still allowing everyone the opportunity to get to know one another, ask questions and feel comfortable sharing.
You'll be joining the same mums each week, giving those connections and friendships time to grow naturally over the eight weeks.
Our Signature Mothers Groups are currently held exclusively at From Day One, located at 22 Cecil Place, Prahran, Melbourne.
While we don't currently offer Mothers Groups interstate, we love hearing from mums across Australia who are interested in what we do, and we hope to bring the From Day One experience to more communities in the future.
Our Prahran space has been thoughtfully designed with mums and babies in mind, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment where you can settle in and feel at home. With pram parking, comfortable feeding chairs, age appropriate toys, fully stocked change stations and a kitchenette, everything you need is on hand to make your visit that little bit easier.
Our Signature Mothers Groups are designed as an eight week experience, with Week One being the intended starting point for all new mums.
We find that beginning the journey together allows everyone to settle in, get to know one another and build connections from the very first session. As the weeks progress, those familiar faces and shared experiences become an important part of the group.
While we generally encourage everyone to join from Week One, we understand there may be circumstances where a little flexibility is needed. Depending on how far along the program is and whether there are places available, it may be possible to join an existing group.
If you've found a group that's already underway, please get in touch. We'd be happy to chat through your options and help you find the best fit.
Our Signature Mothers Groups are designed as an eight week experience, with the same mums and babies coming together each week to learn, share experiences and build genuine friendships.
While we don't currently offer individual trial sessions, this is something we're working towards introducing in the future. We want to make it easier for mums to experience From Day One before committing to a full program, while still preserving the consistency and connections that make our Mothers Groups so special.
In the meantime, if you're unsure whether our Mothers Groups are right for you, we'd love to have a chat! We're always happy to answer your questions, talk you through what to expect and help you decide whether the experience is the right fit for you and your baby.
Our Signature Mothers Groups are designed to give you some dedicated time with your newest little one, while connecting with other mums navigating a similar stage of motherhood.
While we absolutely understand that arranging care for older children isn't always easy, our sessions are generally intended for mums and their babies only. This allows everyone to participate in conversations, enjoy the experience and make the most of their time together.
If you're having difficulty arranging care for an older child, please get in touch before booking. We're always happy to chat through your circumstances and see what might be possible.
