Blogging About Your Baby
You have a new baby! After all the flurry and excitement, the reality of motherhood sets in.
Between feedings, and diaper changing, and laundry, you would probably look at me like I have 3 heads if I suggested to you that you start blogging about your baby.
This would be especially true if you have more than one child, and/or you have a job outside your home.
Truth is you are missing out on a great resource by not taking the time to join a blog.
More and more moms are joining blogs, or starting their own blog about their baby and their experiences as a mom.
Not only can you share your experiences as a new mom with other moms, but your blog can be read by relatives who will feel closer to you and your baby by reading your blogging updates.
Blogging about your baby doesn't have to be, nor should it be, just about all the joys and 'happy' that are going on in your lives'.
One of the biggest pluses with blogging about your baby is that it gives you the chance to share your concerns.
We all know that babies' sleep patterns can be very inconsistent.
It can make for a long, lonely night if your baby decides that it isn't sleepy at 3 am.
Sure you can turn the TV on, but why not spend that unexpected awake time doing something productive? Get on the computer and share your sleepy thoughts.
You may be surprised that another mom or dad out there is suffering right along with you.
You may find that someone out there has a possible solution for your night owl baby.
Who knows, you may be able to help another parent get through a tough night or situation.
You could just find yourself sharing thoughts not only about your baby, but exchanging recipes, or laughing about an in-law story.
So ya, you could wile away the hours in a mind numbing state watching yet another rerun of Mayberry RFD, or you could pass the time away in a more fruitful endeavor.
Quite a few moms and dads feel isolated if no one around them is also a new parent.
Blogging about your baby is a great way to reach out and feel a kinship with people in the same situation.
This is especially great if you can't get out of the house very often.
When that happens, it's easy to feel as if you are all alone.
Blogging about your baby is a way for you to reach out and for others to reach out to you.
This doesn't only encompass other parents of new babies, but your family can be a font of support when you need them most, even if they are miles away! Given that a baby needs constant attention, it isn't always easy to get out to socialize, but when you are blogging about your baby, you can socialize right from home with your baby safely near you.
Many new moms are taken aback at how lonely they become after having a baby, but with blogging you can make a surprising number of new friends.
Another bonus is that you can set up play dates if you and your new friends live close enough.
Make a mini vacation if they live out of town or out of state.
Blogging about your baby doesn't need to be just an outlet for frustrations and stress release, but it can be a great way to share your joys and your baby's triumphs.
It is also a great place to relate with others about the powerful emotions associated with becoming a new mom.
With technology making advances almost every day, it is now possible for you post pictures of your baby's first step, their first tooth and even to post videos so friends and family near and far can watch your baby's birthday party! Blogging about you baby is a great way for you to engage in social networking and bring not only joy to others' lives, but a great way for you to become a part of the community of parents.
