Friday Question: Parenting advice for a first-time mom

This week’s Friday Question comes from World Moms Blog writer Karyn Van Der Zwet of New Zealand.  She asked our writers,

“What are three bits of parenting advice you’d give a friend who was pregnant for the first time?”

Here is the advice some of our World Moms would give their friends…

Kally Mocho of New Jersey, USA writes:
“1. Read “Twelve Hours Sleep by Twelve Weeks Old: A Step-by-Step Plan for Baby Sleep Success” by Suzy Giordano. The title says it all.

2. Baby wipes can be used for so much more than just wiping your baby’s bottom. I use them to clean my children’s shoes. (It’s one item some moms can’t live without!)

3. Take all advice with a grain of salt (including mine). Everyone and their mother will tell you how you should handle your newborn. Only you will know what’s best for your child. Know that the advice given to you comes from a place of love, not judgment.” (more…)

CALIFORNIA, USA: Interview with Mom Photographer

CALIFORNIA, USA: Interview with Mom Photographer

When did you first become a mother?

My first baby was born in 2010. Second in 2012.

Where in the world do you live? And, are you from there?

I live in San Jose, California. I’m originally from Poland.

What language(s) do you speak?

Polish, English, planning on learning Russian.

Are you a stay-at-home mom or do you work?

I’m a stay-at-home mom (SAHM).

Why do you blog/write?

I started my blog on September 2009. My first post had one picture and these words:
“… talking through my pictures and while English is not my first language this blog will be mostly about my photos.”

Right about that time, I also found out that I was pregnant, but my blog wasn’t about me getting ready for motherhood or anything like that. (more…)
