Welcome to the KellyMom Parenting Community! We’re Glad You Stopped In!

This community supports breastfeeding and gentle, empathic parenting practices. We aim to provide a safe, respectful, and caring place for parents to come and connect. We are not a debate forum. While we ask everyone to respect the viewpoints of other community members we will not support or encourage practices that may be harmful to the breastfeeding relationship or the child (Cry-it-out/sleep training, rigid scheduling, etc.). If we feel a post is inappropriate it will be removed.

As a support community we're a little bit different from other internet communities you might be used to. Because of this, we ask that you please have a look at the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines before joining the conversation. We look forward to hearing from you and we'd hate to see a new member put a foot wrong without realizing it.

**Business Owners and Product Promoters** - If you are considering joining our community to solicit/advertise a product, service or website, please be sure to read the Community Guidelines and FAQ that deal specifically with advertising BEFORE you join. We have some very specific guidelines regarding how members can solicit (this applies to non-commercial solicitation as well) and we enforce them rigorously.
