There is so much information out there these days and so many different places to get your information that its hard to keep up. So where do you turn to in order to find advice and see if your baby is on track developmentally? For me, that's usually to Instagram. It's a quick overview of information that I can easily navigate through and then decide if I want to dive deeper into any of the topics. If I do decide I want to look into something further, then I usually turn to the mom blogs. But the first place, is Instagram. Below are some of my very favorite accounts to follow for tips in different areas of baby's development.
