Expertise
I can offer advice from the difficult transition from work-a- holic to stay at home mom. I am now a stay at home mom with two girls under the age of two. I can help with questions concerning having children very close in age. My girls are only 14 months apart. I have a lot of experience with ear infections,getting ear tubes, fussy eaters, bedtime troubles, severe spitting up and general care of newborns and toddlers. I am very good at telling what is normal and think I have some very good alternative ideas for many situations from my own trial and error. I cannot answer medical questions. I can only give my opinions on concerns that you may have. I also am a very good listener and would love the chance to help others who may be having issues and need a friendly ear or someone to bounce an idea off of. I often post responses with helpful ideas on a few baby/toddler bulletin boards and have gotten positive feed back. I also have been through several miscarriages and have had a very hard time getting pregnant. So I can also help with the emotional aspects of dealing with loss. I can respond to questions several times a day and would love the chance to help.

Experience
My experience in this area is that I have two children 14 months apart and that I am a stay at home mom. I also frequently read and post on several baby/toddler web sites. I am the one who all of the new moms in the family come to for pregnancy and newborn advice. I have been through many difficult situations with my oldest (2years). She has had to have tubes in her ears at 10 months and I have battled with ear infections and feeding issues for almost two years . I also have a 1 year old so I feel my newborn experience is still fresh and would love to offer my help.

Education/Credentials
I have some college and have read many books on this subject for the past two years.
