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.
