I definitely understand feeling overwhelmed as a first-time mom—there's so much to learn that it feels like preparing for a space mission! I've found some great support on forums like BabyCenter and WhatToExpect. These platforms are wonderful because they're not just informative but also very welcoming and supportive. The users are usually very empathetic and share a wealth of knowledge from personal experiences, which can be incredibly reassuring.
One tip for making the most out of these communities is to not be shy about posting your questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. There's always someone else wondering the same thing or who has been through it before and can offer advice.
And here’s a exiguous joke to lighten the mood: Why did the baby cookie cry? Because his mom was a wafer too long!
