Helpful Resources for New Moms

Having experienced and witnessed how confusing it can for new moms to try and read everything they can get their hands on about parenting, I have attempted to keep this page simple and useful. I have listed a few excellent resources below.

Baby care info

1. www.AskDrSears.com (website)

2. The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition)

Breastfeeding

1. La Leche League international (Website)

2. The Breastfeeding Book: Everything You Need to Know About Nursing Your Child from Birth Through Weaning

Developmental Info

1. Download this brochure (PDF file format) from the Pathways Awareness Foundation - a guide for tracking your Baby's Physical Development

2. Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five (Revised Edition)

All of this information can be found almost anywhere (books, internet, library, friends).

A great way to get it is to join a class when you are pregnant and learn about babycare and breastfeeding. Contact your local birth hospital to find out what classes they offer.

Or join a mothers group once your baby arrives. This way you will meet other expectant moms in your community (essential supports) and have someone to call when you need to ask a question or just need reassurance that you are doing okay.
