Mama Knows Best is a judgment-free space for new and expecting mamas who want real, honest, warm advice — not perfection.
Hi, I'm Jordan — mama, researcher, and the founder of Mama Knows Best. I launched this blog in the summer of 2024, during my pregnancy, because I already felt overwhelmed by the avalanche of conflicting advice online. I Googled obsessively. I fell down rabbit holes at midnight and came up more anxious than when I started. I second-guessed decisions I hadn't even made yet.
What I actually needed was someone to sit across from me with a cup of tea and say: "Here's what I know. Here's what the research says. Here's what worked for me. Now go figure out what works for YOU."
That's what Mama Knows Best is. A digital best friend who's been through it, done the research, and will never — ever — make you feel guilty for the choices you make for your family.
Every article on this site is written with three things in mind: it has to be accurate, it has to be practical, and it has to feel like it was written by a real human who understands what it's like to be running on 4 hours of sleep and trying to do right by a tiny little human who depends on you completely.
You'll find guides on sleep training, feeding, baby development milestones, the gear that's actually worth buying, and everything in between. I also write honestly about the mama side of this — the mental load, the identity shift, the hard days, and the most beautiful moments of your life happening right alongside them.
Every article on Mama Knows Best is written based on a combination of lived experience as a mother, thorough review of current pediatric research, and guidance from organizations like the AAP, CDC, and ACOG. I am not a doctor — and I always say so clearly — but I am a mama who does the work so you don't have to wade through conflicting Google results at 3 AM.
Before becoming a mom and starting this blog, I spent months researching child development, infant nutrition, and postpartum health — reading studies, calling pediatricians, and building the knowledge base I wanted to have before my baby arrived. I write every article the way I wish someone had written it for me: plainly, practically, and with real citations you can follow up on.
I take accuracy seriously. When the science changes, I update my content. If I'm uncertain about something, I say so. I believe mamas deserve information they can actually trust.
Breast, formula, combination — if your baby is fed and thriving, you are winning.
Yours and theirs. There is no medal for the most exhausted mama.
I base my content on current pediatric guidance, not trends or fear.
Your choices are yours. My job is to give you good information, not a report card.
