Links for New Moms
It seems like a lot of people have been getting knocked-up lately. A couple friends of mine are expecting babies over the next few weeks and one of them is a first-time mom. I recently sent her an email with a list of links that I found myself turning to time and time again. Of course, nothing beats following your own gut instincts on many matters (or a call to your ped), but when you want some quick answers here are some links that get the job done:
http://www.babycenter.com
http://parenting.ivillage.com/ (the message boards are great)
http://www.askdrsears.com
http://www.kellymom.com (awesome breastfeeding resource)
http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/animal-rhymes.htm
http://www.parenthacks.com/
http://www.preschoolexpress.com/
http://www.hipgirlclips.com/forums/ (if you're having a girl you may enjoy making her hairclips yourself)
http://www.oompa.com/ (when Toys R Us just ain't cutting it: "NO BATTERIES. NO BLINKING LIGHTS. NO CARTOON-THEMED TOYS. PERIOD")
And in case you're considering using cloth ;)

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppdiapers

Ok...Did I leave any out? Tell me which sites or blogs about parenting you have found helpful. I don't have anything to give away, but I will be very appreciative!

iparenting.com was a great resource when I first found out I was pregnant for the first time. It has been quite a while since I was over there and it looks so different and exciting.
Remember to also register your information at all the diaper companies (Huggies, Pampers), baby food companies (Gerber, Beechnut), formula (Simalac, Enfamil), etc. You'll get coupons and freebies, too! Even though I breastfed, I still got a few free baby things in the mail from the formula companies.
Great minds think alike, Chrissy! I'll be sure to check out some of these links. Thanks for the list.
Great links!
Thanks!
You can find my tip at:

Have a great week and an amazing spring!!!
I practically lived on babycenter.com with my first pregnancy.
Not so much with my second pregnancy since I was pregnant within 10 weeks of my daughter being born. I was pretty familiar with the process at that point!
This is a great list of links that I'm sure your friend will really appreciate!
WHAT A GREAT LIST!! Thanks for shring your finds:)
