I just have to say...

There are lots of other places/forums on the net to find information on BFing, sleep issues, going back to work, staying home, pregnancy loss, parenting, etc. but this board is truly the best at letting moms express their feelings and providing SUPPORT to each other.  In a world where everyone wants to judge each other and claim their parenting ways are the best, it's nice to have a place to ask questions and not be judged.  I only know one of you IRL, but sometimes I feel like this place is like Cheers (where everyone knows your name. Gah, I'm dating myself). So, in other words, thank you.

    I feel the love, too. I frequently hear from moms a generation ahead that they felt isolated when their kids arrived, trying to figure out what to do. With "the online" available, I could get answers to questions and feel like part of a community even if I was at home with a newborn and only one hand free to type.

    A big thanks.

    I love the internets and especially this board

    I so wish it was more active when DD was born, I think we'd have had a much easier time w/ a lot of issues. I still shudder at having to go to the national boards!

    <3 all of you!!!

    I feel a slow clap coming on... Seriously, this is so true. I have no worries posting here about my bad mom moments, my fears, etc. I always get support, knowledge, and just a good feeling of camaraderie. Even my best friends aren't "on call" 24/7, so when I'm having BFing issues (awesome responses below, by the way) and I just want to throw my pump out the window, I can come post here and get good feedback and numerous points of view without feeling like I'm being judged. You guys ARE the best!

    (I have always wanted to use the hug icon.)

    As always, thanks for the non judgement, support and advice! (Just today I told H, the Bump Girls say its OK to leave her in the crib and diapers for a bit longer! He said, I know! I said the same thing earlier! But I needed the Bump Approval.)

    Oh, me too! And I know none of you in real life, but I love that I never feel judged or embarassed to ask a question. The national boards are way too big for me, this is just perfect!

    Yes!  This board is just great.  I love how people really take the time to answer questions and just generally be supportive.  I try to chime in when I think it will be helpful, but I have definately gotten more than I give.
