By Our wonderful readers February 26, 2015
When you are an expecting, or new, mom everyone seems to have advice for you. From your own mom, to your mother-in-law, to your best friend who just had a baby, even people in the grocery store feel the need to share their advice, suggestions and parenting philosophies.

So, we wanted to share what other new and expecting moms though the best advice they received was. We hope it helps as you navigate the exciting and sometimes scary world of becoming a parent!

Ask for help. I wish I had listened to that one! - Elena K.

If it's your second child, take care of the older child's needs first, then the baby (get the sippy cup and crackers before you sit to nurse). The baby can wait a minute, the older child won't feel like the baby always comes first! - Chyrssa M.

There's no right way! - Alicia B.

Everyone takes a different amount of time to grow their baby. -Jenn N.

Soak up those first days. Every wrinkle. The smell of their hair. Their features. It all goes away so fast. -Kendra J.

Listen to the advice of others but then trust yourself! - Laurie C.

Ask for and accept help! - Kate W.

When we got home someone said, "Now, all you have to do is love them". -Jennifer L.
