Parenting is probably one of the most significant DIY or ‘learns as you do things in our lives. No one becomes a parent after learning the tricks and tips of parenting. And, as we become a parent or as we start planning pregnancy we are at a loss on how to go about it.
We look out for suggestions and ideas. We talk to our friends and families and look up online in search of trusted information on pregnancy and parenting advice. When we talk of the online space, there is so much out there that it becomes difficult for one to gauge which resources to trust.
