3 Free, Must-Use Baby Resources For Easy Parenting

There is some debate among mothers about what is the best
advice for easily raising their babies. Is it following the
guidelines of a specific guru? Finding out what works by
trial and error? Listening to friends and family? Following
the latest hot advice?

Here's what I consider the best approach for moms all over
the world... learning from others.

I'm sure you are well aware that there are some universal
keys to baby development. That is, babies all over the
world develop according to the same principles.
Fortunately, almost all of these development principles and
how to handle them have at some point in time been
recorded, reported or experienced.

The only thing that you need to do... is find this
information... and then use it.

What follows is my suggested list of 3 free baby
information resources which you can start using today for
the best advice to easily raise your baby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Raising your baby easily and effortlessly begins with
knowing the answers to the "common" questions. That is,
there are a few problems almost all parents experience and
want to know the answers to. The first approach is knowing
the answers to these "common" difficulties. And then to
avoid these pitfalls.

A quick and easy way of learning from others is to study
the frequently asked questions asked by other parents.

** BabyZone is one such online site with content and
resources covering the most important questions you may
have. It's an excellent destination for answers, timely
suggestions, advice, lessons and tutorials on pregnancy,
childbirth and parenting. access this great resource at
http://www.babyzone.com

Discussion Forums

The second resource is to take part in some kind of open
discussion. Rather than struggling to find out what works
and what not, learn from others. Somewhere someone has
already experienced and solved the same problem as you. And
is willing to share the experience. Forums allow you to ask
questions, express your opinion, and learn from others.

** About.com has a number of forums broken down by due date
months, breastfeeding, caesareans, baby naming, pregnancy
loss and more. You can enter as a guest and browse the
previous posts, but you must register before posting or
answering a message that's already there. Registering is
quick, simple, and free at http://pregnancy.about.com

"Looking Over The Shoulder"

One thing many parents find difficult is knowing how to do
the things they read or hear. Despite getting all the
information, some of us simply learn better and faster by
seeing rather than by reading. That's where local guidance
centres are invaluable. It's a great resource for sharing
information and experiences many parents often overlook.
But obviously, it's not meant to substitute consultations
with medical practitioners.

** The Expectant Mother's Guide provides pregnancy,
childbirth, and baby-related information for parents in
specific metropolitan areas. Much of the available articles
and resources are specific to a particular city or region.
Consult http://www.expectantmothersguide.com for a list of
countries and cities covered and served.

In order to consistently make the best decisions raising
your baby, several things need to be considered. You want
the information most suited to your situation. And you want
to get it quickly and easily. These 3 free resources will
surely help any parent to achieve that goal almost every
time.
