Parenting- Boston Moms

In an ideal world, parenting would be effortless, with a guide for every situation. However, we all know that’s not the reality. Each child is unique, requiring special love, care, and nurturing. So, without a parenting manual, what can you do? That’s where Boston Moms comes in. Our team consists of more than 40 contributors from different backgrounds and family structures, bringing a diverse range of experiences from various walks of life and parenthood.

Parenthood is an amazing journey, filled with challenges and beautiful moments. The anticipation and mixed emotions during pregnancy mark the beginning of this transformative experience. The newborn phase brings sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, but oh, the incomparable joy of witnessing your baby’s first smile! As your little one blossoms into a curious toddler, the journey transforms into a whirlwind of managing tantrums, fostering independence, and cherishing their first words and wobbly steps. The school years unveil a whole new spectrum of challenges, as you navigate the delicate balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and the intricate world of social development. And as the teenage phase unfolds, their identity takes shape, boundaries are established, and the need for open communication becomes paramount. Every stage of motherhood, though it can be tough, strengthens the unbreakable bond between a mom and her child.

Our goal at Boston Moms is to be there for you during every stage of parenthood, offering resources and support. Whether you need guidance or just someone to be there, we want to walk alongside you in your parenthood journey.

When I joined a sorority my freshman year of college, I never thought it would help me prepare for motherhood. Much to my surprise, sorority life and mom life are very similar on so many levels. 1. There are T-shirts...
Before I became a mom, before I met my partner, I had an idea of the perfect dad. My husband is nothing like I imagined. Thinking forward to a hypothetical pregnancy, I pictured a partner who would excitedly make lists of...
We all know the memes about the mental load of motherhood — there's this one and this one, and this one, too. When it comes to parenting, moms (stereotypically) bear the bulk of the mental load. And in my...
The NICU is a scary place for any parent. But there are many resources that can offer some peace of mind along the way. No one should have to go it alone.
So you've decided to sleep train. Well done! You made a decision! Hooray for you.  I'm guessing you've spent about all of your mental energy on this — you've read all about cortisol and how French babies just magically learn...
I am choosing to show my children how to be the good in the world. I want to teach my children how to give people the benefit of the doubt. I want them to learn how to communicate with people when they are unsure, confused, or hurt. I want them to be able to accept people as they are and not what they think they should be. We all have learned some lessons on our life journey, and all of us have missed a few lessons. So instead of passing judgment on one another for being an authentic, flawed human, let's embrace the idea that most of us out there really just want to be good and trust their intentions.
This spring our family has spent a lot of time on or around baseball fields all over Massachusetts. (Side note: Not all of them have bathrooms or porta-potties, FYI.) I have embraced the fact that I am now a...
My daughter learned how to stretch her body and wait patiently for her turn. Her teachers encouraged her to look in the mirror and be proud of who she saw looking back at her. She sang songs while she danced, practiced walking on her tiptoes like a princess, was encouraged to use good manners, and, above all, learned to be kind to her classmates.
How many times a day do you tell your children to be careful? Five? Ten? Fifty times? If you kept track, I bet you'd be astounded. A recent article in the New York Times about anti-helicopter parents in Silicon Valley...

For many, wearing green in March ends with St. Patrick's Day. For us, it extends through March 25 — National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day. Did you know cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability among children? Approximately one in 345...
