JadedKitteh submitted an interesting post called
Parenting via Facebook, about how moms use Facebook to help each other when their kids are sick.
"Besides sharing symptoms and diagnosis on Facebook, parents offer each other lots of condolences and support. Lots of “hang in theres” and with the throw-up virus, lots of “that’s disgusting” or “poor (fill-in name of parent here.)” It’s like a large 3-way call with your buddies when you’re covered in puke or diarrhea.
Facebook isn’t just useful for diagnosing illness and getting cyber-pats-on-the-back for dealing with them, it’s also great for baby advice."
Parents asking for and giving advice on a myriad of symptoms, illnesses, behavior troubles, concerns, etc. is a wonderful way blogs and social networking websites bring parents together and create a network of support.
At Momaroo, we're always so touched by the time our readers take to offer their help and share their experience on advice posts.

Today my facebook status says "the saying "nap when the baby naps" only applies to first time moms. When you have four, it doesn't work out quite that way." Am I asking for advice? Not exactly, more just sympathy...but advice is always nice if it works!
(I just had my fourth baby 1 week and 1 day ago!)
@alaskamommy@xanga - Congrats on your new baby! With my third child and second being 16mths apart I could still work the nap thing. After my fourth that know no longer worked.
Yes, I do post about parenting dilemmas as well as weigh in with parenting advice.
That is something I never thought of doing, cause I am on cafemom.
First few weeks after postpartum, I had a lot of breastfeeding issues. Since my family just moved to another state, a lot of my mommy/RN friends gave me a lot of advice through FB. It was a saving grace!
