There is no shortage of information available on Instagram, which can be great for new moms looking for advice or tips. I try to be very intentional with who I follow on social media, choosing to follow accounts that are uplifting, use evidence-based information, and really limit the amount of products they link to push sales. Here are my favorite accounts to follow!
