How do I meet other moms?
There are many different ways to meet moms on NewBaby. Here are a few suggestions:

Search for moms. You can search for moms who live near you, moms with kids the same age as your, moms who share the same interests or face the same challenges - and more. Use the search box (located at the top of every page) to search by name, location or kids' ages. For more ways to search, click the "more search options" link below the search box. Once you find profiles of interesting moms, you can view their profiles to learn more about them.

Add a comment. If you read a journal post that you enjoyed or have some advice for the author, be sure to leave her a comment. Or, if you see a photo that catches your attention, leave a comment. Everyone loves getting comments and it's a great way to start up a conversation.

Search Blogs:  Search blogs for like-minded moms.  See who shares your interests and invite them to become your friend.

Show Newbaby Love: Have another blog or page somewhere?  Link back to NewBaby to let other Moms know about you and easily access your library of videos.

NEW: Join or Host a Group: We are starting a new groups function where you can create a group and have members join for fun and networking together on NewBaby.com

Be sure to share us with other Moms on sites like Twitter!

What should I do once I meet a mom whom I'd like to know better?
Leave her a message on her profile page after you have joined to say hello.

If you prefer to contact her privately, you can send her a private message. To send a message, click the "Send a Message" link on her profile page.

Send her a friend invitation. Once she accepts your invite, she'll be added to your friends list and you'll be on hers. You'll then be able to see any posts or photos she's marked as Friends Only (and vice versa). You'll also be notified about things she does on NewBaby in the Recent Activity box on your homepage.

How can I change the look of my profile page?
Your profile page is the page that other moms will view to learn more about you. You can show off your personality by customizing the background, colors, and fonts on the page. Click the "Customize Your Profile" button on your homepage to make changes.

How can I add or change information in my profile?
Click on the "Edit your Profile" of your homepage. You can choose to share as much or as little about yourself and your kids as you'd like - you can always add or change your information later.

Who can see what I post?
We've built in a lot of privacy controls so you can decide who can see what you post. But, remember to be smart about what you share - don't share personal details like your address, phone number, social security number, or credit card numbers with someone you don't know.

Click the "Privacy + Settings" link at the top of any page to check your privacy settings or to change your privacy settings at any time. In addition, each individual journal entry or photo has its own individual privacy setting. Every time you post a journal or photo, you can decide who you'd like to be able to see it.

How can I use NewBaby to stay in touch with mom friends I already know?
If your friends aren't already part of NewBaby, invite them to join you here. Once you're all on NewBaby, you can create a Personal Group just for you and your friends where you can talk privately.

Don't forget to add the NewBaby.com widget to your blog or website and share your videos or other videos you have in your playlist.
