New Moms







Although most people are pretty forgiving when it comes to any situation involving babies, the number one etiquette mistake that new moms make has to be those descriptive birthing and labor stories …water breaking, contractions, dilation's, crowning, stitches, sitz baths… fall into the category of “too much information, thanks.” Some new moms are prone to tell everyone the details, from the bus driver to colleagues at work to strangers in the checkout.

Another mistake parents make is in thinking the baby is as entertaining to everyone else as it is to you.
