Moms are online.  In fact, they may be the most online segment of our society.  Recent marketing statistics have showed that:
The number of moms who use social media regularly (e.g. Facebook,  MySpace, BabyCenter Community) has significantly increased from 11% to  63% since 2006; a change of 462%.
Today&#8217;s moms are finding both information and socializing online.  Beginning long before their babies are born in forums like BabyCenter, The Bump and CafeMom, these woman compare notes about their pregnancies, shopping recommendations, and photos of their newborns.  In addition to their ...]]></description>

While it is not an impossible task, there are adjustments you may need to make in your daily routine to be able to successfully breastfeed for a year or more, as recommended by the APA.  Unfortunately, new moms may not ...]]></description>

I always thought I was pretty resilient but after having my twins I can say that there really is nothing that could prepare me physically or emotionally for the challenges of having children.   In fact, I would go so far to say that motherhood could actually be used as training for service in the Marine Corps.  Don&#8217;t laugh.  There are a whole lot of things that mothers have in common with Marines.  Here are ten of them:
