We usually have two over the weekend. On a busy weekend we have 3! We have two friends that we usually see every week. Sadly one of them is going to move away this summer. It's really hard to find good friends that you click with and that your children click with too!
How often do you go on playdates?

not as often as I'd like - my best friend & her son live 1+ hour away. we don't have too many friends here with LOs.

Pretty much never. We don't know any families with kids other than my sister and her kids.

Once a month maybe. We've been meeting up with his classmates mostly.

We try for once a week, but we will sometimes meet up with friends at the park once or twice a week as well.

About once a month. I have a meetup group that does a standing gathering once a month. I usually make that one, or sub in a different gathering. Working full time and having to see extended family on weekends doesn't leave much room for that stuff!

Once or twice a week. I'm a Sahm so that helps. And we know a lot of people with kids the exact same age as lo.

Before LO was in daycare, usually 1 a week. Now we only occasionally have playdates on the weekends.

I'm a SAHM so we usually have a playdate planned 3x a week and she goes to class the other two days. We don't do as many playdates on the weekend - maybe once or twice a month at most.

All of my closest childhood and college friends have kids a lot older but luckily there has been a baby boom recently from friends of friends. My neighbor just also had a baby so lots of play dates very soon! Right now we meet up once a week with cousins and also go to the play gym once a week, and music class once a week.

Each of my kids has a playgroup, so definitely once per week with the baby group and maybe twice per month with the toddler group. But we also go to the park every day after school and see a lot of the same kids there.

Once a month 
feeling better seeing other parents say that! I am part of a mommy meetup but most of the other babies are over 1.5yrs and they do toddler activities that wouldn't make sense to take my almost 10 month old to, and the ones she could go to are in the morning before she wakes up! (she sleeps till 10-11) hoping to get more play dates in when she's over 1yr

One of our older daughter's classmates lives on our block, so we get together a lot... But they are moving in May and we are sad!

0-2 a weekend... mostly with the same kid!
I so agree with @Mrs. Bee: that it is so hard to find someone that you click with the parent and the kids click as well. On top of that, your parenting style needs to be similar. And even if you met someone, you need to have courage to "ask them out"!

Try to have at least one a week. We see my sister and niece though all the time and it will be more fun once both girls are playing age.

on the weekends, we usually have 1 per weekend (we see her cousin who is around the same age every other weekend)...but our nanny takes our LO out on 2 playdates every weekday.

there's a group of about 4 moms that I get together with. We aim for once a week but sometimes it doesn't happen.

When I only had one it was minimum once a week. Now they can play with each other, so hardly ever.
