(“The evidence‑based diary of modern motherhood.”)
Our Mission
Motherhood is profound, joyful—and often overwhelming. Mother Chronicle turns noise into knowledge. We deliver empathetic, research‑anchored articles that help new and expectant parents make confident, judgment‑free choices for themselves and their babies.
Our Values
- Science‑literate empathy. Feelings are honoured; facts come from peer‑reviewed journals, medical guidelines and frontline practitioners.
- No‑shame zone. Breast or bottle, crib or co‑sleep—our role is to inform, never moralise.
- Global perspective. We learn from Somali doulas, Swedish leave policies and Peruvian baby‑wearing traditions alike.
- Accessibility. Articles avoid jargon, provide plain‑language summaries and remain free to read—no pop‑ups, no paywalls for essentials.
What You’ll Find Here
- Pillar guides on the fourth trimester, infant sleep science, matrescence and parental‑leave law
- Daily micro‑features covering developmental milestones, mental‑health check‑ins, relationship dynamics and cultural practices
- Expert interviews with obstetric specialists, lactation consultants, pelvic‑floor therapists and perinatal psychologists
- Downloadables & trackers (coming after day 100) to simplify doctor visits, pumping schedules and core‑strength routines
