Mom Milestones: From Sleep Regressions to Toddler Tasting Menus
Moms record their baby's milestones, but what about their own? To celebrate the launch of "Mom Milestones: The TRUE Story of the First Seven Years," we asked doctor and cartoonist Grace Farris to share five milestones from the early parenting years.

Mom Milestones is my love letter to mothers and caregivers who are either at the beginning of their parenting journey, or are submerged in the later years. It’s meant to be a celebration of the joys and merriment of parenting, as well as a send up of the less glamorous parts. One of the perks of having Mom Milestones out in the world now is that people send me photos of their kids reading it! Apparently kids are intrigued by access to the hidden inner world of mom. My hope with Mom Milestones is that readers will discover a fun respite from the grind and, as well as a sense of belonging.
