Hi Friends!

You guys know I love my round-up posts and today I’ve got a big one for you. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I’ve started paying more attention to blog posts and articles I come across that have to do with pregnancy, motherhood and parenting in general. I’ve shared some of them in Bean Bytes over the past few months, but I’ve also been bookmarking them with the intention of doing a big roundup because I’m a big fan of having everything in one place!

Are you pregnant? A new mom? Raising a child of any age? Here's a great roundup of 100 posts on a variety of parenting and pregnancy topics!

So, here you go! 100+ posts on everything from newborns, to breastfeeding to toddlers & kids. I did my best to categorize them! This is by no means and end-all, be-all list…just a collection of posts I’ve come across recently.

Are you pregnant? A new mom? Raising a child of any age? Here's a great roundup of 100 posts on a variety of parenting and pregnancy topics!

    These are all great posts. I’ve read through so many of them already, but I’m planning to hit some new ones too! thanks for the mention. =)
    It seems like there are dozens of preggo bloggers out there right now. I love seeing so many other mamas going through the stages of pregnancy and child birth together. We learn so much from each other.

    So exciting! The one thing I recommend to all expecting mothers is to attend a La Leche League meeting while you are pregnant. It’s a great time to ask questions and to get to know the other moms and leaders so that you have someone to turn to if you need help with breastfeeding.

    Linds – this is a great list, so timely b/c I was checking out your blog today specifically looking for advice on prenatal and postnatal nutrition – especially on supplements. Have you been through any good research or have any advice on this topic? I see so much conflicting information on the web (and who knows about the writers’ actual qualifications), and while I know that food is the best source for vitamins, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding it seems especially important to supplement. Are there particular brands you recommend (or don’t)? Particular vitamins/minerals to focus on getting (Folic Acid seems obvious, but what about different types of D vitamins, DHA, EPA, etc.), and how much? Should supplements change from prenatal to post-natal and if you’re breastfeeding vs. not? Would love your thoughts on this!

      July 30, 2014 at 12:34 PM

      I don’t actually have too many thoughts on supplements. All i’m doing is taking a prenatal vitamin and i’ll probably continue to do so after baby is born as well!
