RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Many mothers are turning to social media to help each other out, joining virtual communities to get advice on everything from diapers to divorce.

As CBS2’s Cindy Hsu reported, while some moms get to know each other at the playground, many are expanding their circle by joining mommy groups online.

Alissa Meyer has three young children and uses online community sites all the time.

“It’s been great. I don’t know what I would do without it,” she said. “I was able to meet so many people and get so much advice.”

Jen Marchetti is a working mom with three young boys. She started the group Ridgewood Moms on Facebook.
