Technology plays a significant role in our culture, and we want to model healthy boundaries for our child. 

It was easy to find information about what to expect immediately postpartum, but I did not see much about recovery after the first few months. I felt like my body was permanently damaged and worried that I would always have discomfort.

This month, we traveled across the country with our nine-month-old daughter, Camille. It was our first time flying with our baby, and we received a lot of great advice from other parents before the trip.

My husband and I have struggled to prioritize our health and well-being like we were able to before we had our daughter. We have spent a lot of time discussing how we can improve in these areas together as a family and how to incorporate our daughter into these lifestyle changes.

I knew very little about babies and how to care for them before having my little one, and I received a lot of helpful advice from friends and family. I will share some of the information that I found most helpful and a few things I wish I had known earlier.

This year, I have made it a goal to reclaim the holiday season and start new traditions with my family that will add fun and meaning during the holiday season. Having a new baby gives my husband and me fresh eyes and a renewed sense of wonder and joy. I am excited to start new family traditions that, hopefully, my daughter will look back on with warmth in her heart.

I will share my cloth diapering experience and hopefully help answer questions that folks who are new to cloth diapering have.

I am a long way from having complex conversations with my child, such as cultural appropriation. In the meantime, I will be conscious about what my daughter wears for Halloween and how we represent and talk about other cultures in our home.

I knew early on that I wanted to breastfeed. What I didn’t know was what a learning process it would be for me and my baby.

Finding the time to rest and recover from birth while caring for a newborn can be challenging. We must find a balance between caring for our little ones and caring for ourselves.
