The journey through pregnancy, infancy, and postpartum is full of exciting, joyful, nerve-wracking, tiring, and unique moments. From the moment you see those two pink lines, you work hard to be a wonderful mom by getting prenatal care, researching baby gear, and staying fit and healthy. Then bringing home an infant is the start of a new adventure, whether it’s your firstborn or fifth.
Each day is filled with so many new things, and just when you think you’ve got them figured out, they change yet again. Through sleepless nights, feeding struggles, and endless dirty diapers, our lives are forever changed. As much as we try to prepare, it’s best to take it one day at a time. Westchester County Mom is here to help you find all of the best resources and services in and around Westchester County to help you through your motherhood journey. Please support our sponsors.
