Preparing for Birth: Advice for the New Mom
Welcome to the final week in our 10 week series on Preparing for Birth! This week’s focus is on Advice for the New Mom.
I’ll be sharing some of my thoughts later this week on the advice I’d like to share as well as a guest post on Caring for Your Infant’s Teeth and Gums.
Here are some more great reads on the topic:
