Instagram Accounts Moms NEED to Follow

Becoming a parent can be SO stressful! Between pregnancy, safety for your baby, and parenting in general, there are so many important things to know! I have found certain Instagram accounts to be extremely helpful for this! I follow all of these accounts, and they have all helped me in some way or another. Some of the accounts have changed the way that my husband and I parent! If you aren’t much of an Instagram person, you should still check these out. I promise they are worth it!

If you haven’t read my post Best Pregnancy and Baby Apps, it’s definitely worth the short read! Between those apps and these Instagram accounts, I felt more prepared and confident to be a parent!

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Instagram Accounts

@thebellemethod

Nikki Bergen runs the Belle Method on Instagram, and she is AMAZING! She is a pelvic health specialist and I’m absolutely convinced that I had an easier delivery because of what I learned from her. She is always posting workouts for everything from pushing prep to healing from postpartum. Definitely give her a follow! You won’t regret it!

@lactationlink

This is a breastfeeding Instagram account and I would highly recommend it! This Instagram account covers almost any question that you could possibly have in regards to breastfeeding! I found a LOT of help from this page when I was first starting with breastfeeding.

@whattoexpect

This is another pregnancy Instagram account and I love it! They also have an app that is great. What to Expect basically covers everything that you need to know during pregnancy, and labor and delivery. This account is extremely informational and can teach you a lot of important things! Be sure to follow them on Instagram if you are preggo!

Baby Instagram Accounts

@takingcarababies

I’m pretty sure that I am Cara’s biggest fan. She teaches you how to sleep train your baby as early as 8 weeks! Her sleep training method is a no-cry method, which I LOVE. She also teaches you a lot about baby naps and the importance of routines. I can’t even express how much I have learned from her! If you don’t follow this Instagram account, I promise you’ll regret it!

@safeintheseat

This is a car-seat Instagram account! Michelle is a car-seat expert and will help you be sure that your baby/child is as safe as possible! She covers everything from installing the car-seat, to making sure your child is strapped in correctly! This is an account that can really make a difference in a split second, so be sure to give it a follow!

@theformulamom

If you can’t breastfeed your baby, or if you choose not to, this is a great Instagram account to follow. This account will make you feel good about choosing certain kinds of formulas and even simple things like how you should and shouldn’t hold a bottle. Give this account a follow if you are formula feeding! You’ll probably learn more than you ever thought there was to know about formula feeding!

@babyledweanteam & @solidstarts

These accounts are for starting your baby on solids. I have found these to be SO helpful as I’ve been introducing solids to my baby. Use the resources that these accounts have. You’ll learn so much! I follow both of them because they both share different perspectives and that is really handy! I have spent more time on these Instagram accounts lately, but I’ve learned more than I ever thought I could about baby food!

@thenewmommie

This is my Instagram account! If you like all of the information that you are reading, I’m always sharing about it on my Instagram! Be sure to give me a follow for everything pregnancy, baby, and (soon-to-be) toddler related! Feel free to DM me if there is ever anything that you are wanting me to talk about/share!

Toddler (&Baby) Accounts

@biglittlefeelings

Big Little Feelings is an Instagram Account for parenting! I don’t have a toddler yet, but I have definitely read some amazing advice on that account. I will absolutely apply it when I do have a toddler! The perspectives shared on this account are so positive and inspiring! They really help you understand life through a toddler’s mind.

@shantripp

I love Shannon! She has one of the most important Instagram accounts out there! This is a fantastic account for babies, toddlers, and kids in general! Shannon is a pediatric nurse and she shares everything that a parent could possibly want to know about their child’s health. She has story highlights for almost every topic and it’s sooooo helpful! I have gone to her page for answers countless times and my baby is only 6 months old! This is an Instagram account you’ll definitely want to follow!

All of these Instagram accounts are so helpful! You guys HAVE to follow them! Some of them are really interesting, and others have honestly changed my life! Several of these accounts offer classes online as well. If you read my post Classes for Pregnancy & Postpartum That I Swear By, then you’ll see which ones I have taken and LOVED! I am always discovering new and helpful accounts, so be sure to also follow @thenewmommie to see more about pregnancy, breastfeeding, babies and toddlers!
