I was a new mom on temporary leave from a fast-track career. My life had been turned upside down by a 9-pound bundle of energy, and the typical insecurities of a first-time mother were rampant in my mind. Was I making enough milk to feed my baby? Would I ever get my figure back? What would happen if I didn't return to work as planned?
These anxieties, and many more to come in the course of my daughter's development, were met and quelled head-on by the advice of a group of angels, otherwise known as Mom Mentors. The friends that I made through my local parenting support group – from the time that my baby was just three months old – have guided me along on this incredible journey called parenthood.
Whatever a mom is looking for in the form of parenting support, there is sure to be an organization and group that meets her needs. |

The neighborhoods that we of the post baby-boom generation recall are mainly history. In most areas of the country, there have been drastic changes in family dynamics, as well as a marked increase of women in the workforce. In addition to the day-to-day challenges of parenting, women in their childbearing years are faced with balancing work and family and providing some semblance of family life in a transient community structure.
