Oh, baby: a roundup of our best content for new moms

There is truly nothing like a sweet, precious, newborn baby girl.

I know, baby boys are probably splendid too, but I only have experience with the former. Plus our oldest niece just had her first child, a perfect little princess, whom our Z has nicknamed “Baby Sparkle.”

We got to spend a delightful afternoon with them this past weekend, so you’ll understand if I have babies on the brain. Holding their new little one got me reminiscing back on our early days with our own wee, pink bundle. That inspired today’s round-up post of all our best content for new moms.

Ready to listen to Jewel’s Lullaby album on repeat? Here are our favorite past posts about babies, nursing and new motherhood.

How to be a breastfeeding superstar – this is still one of the blog posts I’m proudest of. I poured my heart, soul and everything I had learned about nursing my baby into this post.

Attachment parenting: it’s how we roll – we stumbled into this philosphy of parenting and I am so glad we did. We’ve since researched it thoroughly and the science definitely backs up this method as the best way. When in doubt, love, hold, nurse and nurture that baby! You simply can’t go wrong.

We were all sleeping happily through the night soon after we discovered cosleeping!

Motherhood is hard. Moms rock. – here’s an ode to all mothers everywhere. Being a mom is hard – and keeps getting harder as we adjust and adapt – and there’s certainly no one else who could do this job. Yet we make it look easy. Give yourself a big, warm pat on the back, mama!

Nursing helps alleviate working mom guilt – let’s talk about mom guilt, because we’ve all got it in spades. Working moms have a steady, continuous dose of guilt – but nursing can help with that. I know it helped me for years!

Mommy mythbusting: selflessness – this one is for the moms to be, or for anyone really. It’s about how I learned to be selfless like my own awesome mom, even though I didn’t think I had it in me to ever be that way.

Top 5 baby and toddler hacks – this is my ode to some of the things that made new motherhood easier or more fun, and ways that we made the most of our relationship with Z early on.
