Your New Baby, Blogging, and Modern Motherhood




For the mother of a new baby, blogging is likely to be



the last thing on her mind. Taking care of an infant is an



almost incredible amount of work, and between



changing diapers and putting the final touches on the



nursery, it seems unrealistic to imagine that there would



be time left over for any mother to blog. However, a



growing number of new moms are joining the



blogosphere to share their experiences during this



exciting time of life. There is a whole range of benefits



that new mothers can reap from blogging, and the



spectrum covers everything from getting through the



night to helping distant relatives feel closer.





Among the reasons why, for a mom dealing with the



hassles and triumphs of a baby, blogging is a great idea,



is that having a blog about motherhood is a great way to



blow off some steam. Babies often have very erratic



sleep patterns that leave parents up at odd hours of the



night, and sometimes the best way to fill those hours is



on the internet. Many new moms turn to television to



help them weather these dawn vigils, but by blogging



through the night moms can turn what feels like a



somewhat depressing situation into an actively positive



and productive one.





Another reason why new moms often find blogging



very satisfying is that it helps them to be a part of a



community. For moms who are not able to successfully



juggle a full social life with the very tough demands of



taking care of a new baby, blogging can be a great way



to stave off the isolation that sometimes comes with this



stage of life. A baby requires constant attention, and it



can be difficult to attend social gatherings or events



when you are responsible for an infant. Luckily, the



blogosphere is full of other moms in the same situation,



and by chatting with them it is possible to overcome



some of the loneliness that many new mothers are



surprised to encounter.





Of course, for a mom with an adorable new baby,



blogging can be as much about celebration as it is about



necessity. Having a blog about living with a new child



can give mothers the chance to reflect on how powerful



and warm the sensation of motherhood is, and



sometimes sharing the triumphs of this unique time can



make them even sweeter. A blog is a great way to keep



friends and family updated with news about your baby's



first words or first steps, and with new technology it is



easier than ever to make photos and video clips a part of



your blog, so you can give far-away relatives the chance



to feel much more involved in your child's life.
