Resources for the Stay at Home Mom

Sunday, April 30. 2006

I’m a new mom and have decided to stay at home with my baby for the first few years. As a 1st time mom, I’ve found it a little more difficult than I would like to admit and I went online looking for some good advise.

Check out this website for some great links.
Resources for the Stay at Home Mom

I found a site with Colic relief products and a site on potty training techniques. I joined a mom support group and was paired up with a mom who is going through the same things.

My first tip that I would like to share with every new mom is that you’re not alone. When friends and family offer to help, take it you’re not expected to be a superhero.

My second tip is to take your baby and get out of the house every once in a while. Stay at home mom does not mean you have to be cooped up in the house 24/7. Go to the park, shop at the mall or join a mommy and me group. I joined a Gymboree class offered at the local YMCA. We formed a play group and I’ve been able to make some great friends.

Being a new mom is not easy, but when I look into my little boys eyes I know that it so worth it.
