Baby

Having a baby changes your entire world overnight.  As a new mom, you have so many questions, and it can be hard to find information you can trust.

My goal is to give you the straightforward, honest advice I would share with my best friend.  I’m not a parenting expert, but through my experience with three very different babbies, and plenty of trial and error, I’ve figured out a few tips and tricks that worked for us.  Hopefully they’ll help you too.

If you’re expecting, hop on over to my ultimate guide to everything you need for baby’s first six months.  Then, check out my top tips to save money on baby gear.

Once baby arrives, we’ve got you covered, with practical tips on car seat safety, surviving the first week with your newborn, and 25 baby hacks you need to know.  If well-meaning friends and family are looking for the best way to support you, feel free to direct them to this article.

Baby’s first year is filled with new experiences.  It won’t be long before you’re taking them swimming for the first time, and they’re taking their first steps.  Before you know it, you’ll be childproofing the whole house – we’ve got you covered there too.
