You have a baby in your home! Share the ups & downs of this life-changing event with other parents. How is this addition to your family affecting your marriage – your sex life, the division of labor, the time you have with each other? How are the siblings adjusting? Does your toddler love that baby a little too much around her neck? Are your arms big enough to embrace everyone at story time? Are your in-laws an asset or a complication? Sometimes a new baby can be a money-eating machine: cribs, designer strollers, high chairs, buntings, car seats and monogrammed diapers – not to mention the baby’s wardrobe! Where have you found the best bargains and the greatest inventions?

What’s your secret to surviving on low battery with sleepless nights and insufficient time or energy to prepare meals, exercise or otherwise take care of yourself? Do you have some meals-in-minutes that you can share with other cooks? Maybe you’ve discovered a life-saving vitamin, green drink or other energy booster – or you want to hear from someone who has! Or do you sometimes find yourself floundering with exhaustion, overwhelm and low mood? You’re not alone! Find companionship, new solutions, ideas and support from other parents of infants. Does your baby have special needs? Are you yourself in a very challenging situation (dealing with divorce, illness, family crisis or other life event?) You’re not the only one. Others have been on your path and can offer you the benefits of their experience. Reach out with your story, your fears and your questions.

Whatever is on your mind: safety issues, health issues, nursing issues, tips on infant feeding, the use of pacifiers and other soothers, techniques for childproofing your house, juggling job and baby, the special challenges that Dads face, the special challenges that Moms face, tips on baby products, strategies to calm colicky babies, ways to get the baby to sleep – or any other topic related to you and your new baby – share it right here. We’re listening!
