FTM here. I love reading. I'm addicted to magazines... I LOVE getting them in the mail! I do need to subscribe to one regarding babies/parenting. Which ones would you suggest? Parenting Magazine? I would buy a two year subscription...

    There are a few that you can get free subscriptions to - a quick Google search brought up a year of Baby Talk and 6 mo of American Baby for free. I am not sure of the quality of the info in these, though.

    I like both Mothering & Kiwi, but they're on the crunchy side of parenting.

    I recently started getting Mothering and I really enjoy it.  It has opened my eyes to things that I wouldn't normally know about.

    I get Parenting (Early years).  I like it.  Now that I am only 3 months away from having a baby (CRAZY!!!)  I am enjoying reading parenting stuff.  I spent my months TTC and the majority of my pregnancy reading stuff about pregnancy.  Now I am realizing that it would be to my advantage to read about what to do when this human being pops out!  : )

    My favorite used to be Wonder Time, but it ceased publication.  Meh.  That was great magazine.

    Anyway, I'm a magazine junkie.  So here's my feedback!

    Babytalk/American Baby: Well, thse are free!  Once you get past all the formula ads, they are pretty decent.  I wouldn't pay for them, but they are worth a quick flip through.

    Parenting Early Years: Mainstream, but I do like that it is targeted at parents of very young children.

    Parents:  Very similar to Parenting.  They have some articles about older children, but there is still a heavy baby focus.

    Kiwi:  The only reason I subscribed to this was because I was able to get it free.  Content is thin, and it's mostly trying to sell organic and earth-friendly everything.  Yes, there is the occasional good recipe or article, but it's not worth my time.  If I want crunchy articles, I prefer Mothering!

    Mothering:  It's expensive and you don't get much content compared to other magazines.  Still, this has been a favorite of mine for a couple years.  If articles about cloth diapering, baby carrying, co-sleeping, and alternative vaxing options are not your thing, then I wouldn't recommend it.  I managed to score a free digital subscription to it recently. 

    I have kept every issue of Mothering and Wonder Time that I ever bought.  The other ones I toss after cutting out the occasional recipe or article.
