You are a happy mom and want to share your experience and knowledge on the blog. If you have something to talk about, but specific ideas just don’t come to mind, then in this article you will find 105 fresh ideas for a mom’s blog that will be read and watched with pleasure.
These ideas are suitable for those who blog on Instagram, YouTube, social networks or any other platform. I've organized the topics into groups, and you'll likely find something to add to each of them.
❤️ Organize a place for the child in all rooms
My first and most important item from the list of life hacks for moms. Organize some space in the rooms of your house where you could put it and do your business. In the nursery I had a developmental mat, in the bedroom there were several toys on the bed, in the living room there was a crawling mat, and in the kitchen I put a chaise longue that I could rock with my foot while I was eating. Of course, you can drag any of these things from one room to another, but believe me, dragging a child in one hand, and a rug and a box of toys in the other is not comme il faut at all. Think about this moment in advance. Here's my complete newborn shopping list.
What does what I'm talking about look like:

❤️ Place or hang a clock near your bed
Get ready for the fact that you now live by the clock. You can also track the intervals between feedings and naps using your phone. And at night you hardly want to take out your phone and look at a bright screen. A table or wall clock can be seen even by nightlight and does not require any action to see what time it is.
How about life hacks for moms saving the family budget? I ordered an electronic desktop clock that also shows temperature and humidity (issue price 250 rubles on Aliexpress ) and did not buy additional thermometers and hygrometers.

❤️ Buy a bag for the stroller
If the stroller does not have pockets and does not include a bag for the mother, be sure to buy one. This is incredibly convenient when you need to put things that you need to quickly reach without digging through the entire stroller basket. For example, it’s convenient to put your phone, a bottle of water in a separate pocket, some cash, keys, pacifiers, and a bottle of water for yourself.
Another tip from the life hacks section for moms saving their family budget. The original bag for my stroller costs 10 thousand rubles, I regretted this money and ordered this much cheaper one on Aliexpress , it cost me 700 rubles:

❤️ Bucket with lid for diapers
Another successful purchase of mine. Having a bucket near the changing table is convenient because:
- It’s easy to throw away and you don’t have to go anywhere with a dirty diaper;
- Eliminate odor;
- It is convenient to throw away other garbage from the room: napkins, packaging, used ear sticks;
- If you put a plastic bag in it, it’s also easy to throw out accumulated garbage.

❤️ Backpack for going to the clinic or for a walk
A backpack because it’s easy to throw on your back and your hands are completely free. Without posting it, I store:
- Child's medical documents
- Spare clothes
- Spare diaper
- Disposable diaper
- Cloth diaper
- A pacifier holder that clings to baby's clothes
- Small pack of dry and wet wipes
- Cellophane bag for dirty diaper

Tip 8: Follow a routine, but don’t go to extremes
Of course, the regime for is useful for a small child. It not only ensures the normal functioning of the small organism, but also accustoms the baby to an internal routine, which makes his life calmer. Therefore, it is useful to carry out feedings, putting to bed, taking a bath (see below) and other procedures according to a schedule so that the baby develops an “internal clock”. But if suddenly your baby wants to sleep early or eat, you don’t have to refuse him. The disorder will have a detrimental effect on the psyche, while deviation from the schedule for a short time will not affect the daily routine as a whole.
Do some stretching
There's a reason yoga is often recommended by doctors and other health professionals; it improves flexibility, which is one of the best ways to feel and look 10 years younger. But you don't have to achieve perfect downward dog pose to reap the full benefits of stretching. Experts say doing simple exercises throughout the day can prevent back, neck and shoulder pain, as well as relieve joint problems.
“Every few hours, get up and stretch as high as you can, leaning forward as if you were trying to put something on an imaginary high shelf. It lengthens and straightens the spine and makes your body healthy,” says Gokhale.
Other good stretches include touching your toes and performing simple side-to-side rotations while standing still.
Eat from the garden
If you eat one apple a day, then you are on the right track. However, the more fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans you can include in your diet now that you're a mom, the better.
Cause? The natural antioxidants contained in these foods function as a natural vaccination system for your body. They help neutralize free radicals, cell-damaging chemicals that the body produces as a result of digestion of food, as well as stress and an unfavorable environment. Research shows that antioxidants can protect you from heart disease, cancer, memory loss and almost any unwanted effect of aging.
Foods high in antioxidants include:
- berries;
- black beans;
- avocado;
- pears;
- apples (with peel);
- sweet potatoes;
- spinach;
- broccoli;
- walnuts, almonds and pecans;
- spices such as ground cinnamon and ginger;
- drinks such as green tea, coffee and red wine;
- dark chocolate.
Tip 3: learn to help your baby with colic and bowel movements
When the question arises about caring for a newborn, the advice of mothers who already have experience in this area often reflects those problems, in addition to nutrition, that the baby cannot yet solve on his own, without the help of his mother. In particular, a newborn cannot always empty his bowels on his own. This condition will cause him discomfort and the child will cry. And then mom (or dad) should come to his aid. A light massage (in a circular motion) of the tummy will help the baby cope with this problem.
If the child suffers from colic, you need to put him on his tummy and give him a light massage “from the side”. Often a newborn suffers from colic immediately after eating - to avoid this, it is recommended to carry the baby in a column for some time (15-20 minutes) after eating. If colic does not go away, you can apply a warm heating pad to your tummy, combining it with a gentle massage.
Be helpful
The main thing people come to your blog for is the benefit . Therefore, do not keep your blog in the style of “dear diary...” unless it is a vlog. Your posts or videos should have practical value .
Before making another post or video, answer yourself the question “ What problem am I solving for readers/viewers?” ". If your posts or videos are useful, people will share your content, actively comment, and subscribe to you.
To come up with an interesting topic, look to your personal experience. Remember what questions you personally asked: what you looked for on the Internet, what you asked your friends about.
Beware of "white" products
You can do your body a favor by reducing your consumption of “white” foods, that is, those that contain refined sugar or white flour. Why? Because refined sugar can be a major cause of inflammation in the body, a biological process that releases harmful free radicals and accelerates aging.
Eating too much sugar causes damage to the heart and other organs on such a scale that the American Heart Association recently urged Americans to limit the sugar they eat and drink. The association recommends that women limit their sugar intake to 100 calories or six teaspoons per day. However, sugar found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains or dairy products is not taken into account.
Are you a guy? You should also cut down on so-called "simple" carbohydrates found in baked goods made with white flour, because they quickly turn into sugar in the digestive system.
Choose whole grain products such as whole wheat, bran and oats. Better yet, especially if you're gluten sensitive, try healthy grains like quinoa, buckwheat, or amaranth. They cook quickly and can help regulate blood sugar levels for several hours after eating.
Make different types of posts
Create a varied type of content to bring your blog to life. Let's look at 6 types of posts that will push you to new original ideas.
1) Post list. Readers and viewers alike love structure and numbers. Therefore, the following headings will help you formulate an original idea for a post or video.

- 10 ways...
- 10 options...
- 10 types...
- 10 types...
- 10 pros and cons...

3) Opinion post , where you share your personal view on some current issue. Follow the top bloggers in your niche to keep abreast of the topics and events being discussed and attract the maximum number of people with your post.

We will post half of this post at once, and the second part next time. A post like this will make your followers come back again.
6) Reviews and unpackings of goods, products, devices... In general, everything that can be useful for a mother.
