I’m sure your co-worker really is that busy! Newborns are a full time job on their own, throw in work and a social schedule, forget about it. It’s often hard to carve out an hour for your spouse let alone other friends and family.

When my babies were babies, the only social interaction that I was able to have with friends were when they came to the house to visit. When I had my twins, one of my best friends would make a big pot of spaghetti or sloppy joes and just come by. This gave me time to spend with her (and the babies) so I didn’t have to worry about cooking dinner.

You may think that going out for a meal is a solution, but packing up a baby to go out is a HUGE project.

Friendships often suffer when people are in different stages in their life (i.e. I have children and you don’t or my children are toddlers and yours are teens etc.) not because you don’t enjoy spending time with the other person, but because your obligations at the time are different.
