Dear New Mommy... Mom Advice/Comments Sought Please

Hello Moms, please consider adding to my current post/list. All you have to do is click on "Post Comment". You may be able to post anonymously or with your name. Please be kind. This is a post for moms to support moms.

I wanted to start a post for new moms or moms who are looking for reminders and tips for when they bring a new baby home. Here are some pieces of advice that I received that have been critical as a mom:

  • sleep when the baby sleeps, that is right forget the Thank you Cards unless you love doing them!
  • do what feels right/listen to your inner voice
  • understand that there are A LOT of different approaches and parenting philosophies(attached parenting, scheduling, cry it out/don't cry it out, vaccinate, don't vaccinate). My credo has been.. research and then decide what is right for me and family.......
  • if your nursing take a peek at http://www.kellymom.com/
  • if you are the "social type" consider an online social networking group for mommies. I love http://www.charlottemommies.com/ (here in Charlotte, NC)
