Mom Central turned me on to this great website. Mamapedia.com  I decided to give it a whirl and typed in things I dealt with or continue to deal with as a parent. I assumd it would be a site that gave me scientific answers to my questions. I was wrong, but that doesn’t discount this site. I first typed in CROUP and found a list of questions from moms and answers. Now if I was in a life and death croup situation, scrolling the answers might not be the best thing, but I did find the Answer Highlight column to be helpful.

Next I searched brown recluse spider bites, because well, we have spiders and I thought I’d see what it suggested. For that search I got a lot of random results for bug bites, but nothing specific to my problem. Though I did want to respond to some of the questions but realized they had already resolved their issues.

Next, sibling fighting. More specific questions with losts of moms chiming in. So my conclusion. Mamapedia is a great site for seeking the advice from other moms on all different subjects, but I don’t think it should replace consulting professionals on serious issues.

Some other features I liked was the Kids Age by Age section. It seems the random questions are highlighted and it’s a great way to get lots of different opinions but it you’re looking for a strictly Christian perspective, this is not the place.

I think if you’re looking for a specific answer to a question you have, then your best bet is to ask that question instead of searching. Though if you wanted to try searching first, I’d be as specific as possible, though sometimes being too specific brought up lots of random questions.

Thought this site was not what I was expecting, over all it’s a great resource for mom advice!
