Pregnancy, Infancy, & Postpartum Resources

Motherhood. Many of us dream of it, but our lives are forever changed once it happens. Whether it is your first time or your fourth, becoming a mom is exciting, joyous, and nerve-wracking. Any mom can feel overwhelmed between pregnancy food cravings, mood swings, finding the best gear, and more. Then, once the baby comes, so many decisions must be made. Will you breastfeed or bottle-feed? Will you co-sleep? Will you need all those onesies? Fairfield County Mom has compiled a guide featuring the best pregnancy, infancy, and postpartum resources. We want to provide you with information so you can relax and enjoy that pregnancy glow and those new baby snuggles without the stress (and maybe even get some sleep). Just know that you aren’t alone on this crazy journey. As always, please support our sponsors!
