The Ultimate Internet Lingo for Moms Guide

“I’m a FTM who has an EBF baby. How many BM should be LO have a day?”

WTH?

Okay, I’ll stop with the acronyms. If you’ve spent anytime in forums or comment threads on the Internet, you’ve likely run into all sorts of acronyms.

While there are probably thousands out there, since I spend most of my time in mom forums, I thought it was about time I put together a list of Internet Lingo for moms.

So if you are perusing through a message board and you are so confused….but feel a little sheepish asking what someone is saying (I’ve been there), here’s your handy dandy list. You can even download a free printable chart by entering your email below! This would be fun to include in a baby shower gift 🙂 If you can’t see the form, click here to enter your email address.
