Forums

One of the most successful of these sites is called Mumsnet, and on this site you will find guides, advice, health information and a review of just about every single product that you could possibly think of buying for your baby. If you have any doubts about what your baby may need, online forums are a great place to find that information, especially given the fact that the advice is given by those who have previous experience in being exactly where you are right now.
