The results are in, and the eagerly anticipated Mother&Baby Mum List 2024 has arrived! Celebrating a diverse bunch of 20 remarkable 'mumfluencers,' this year's lineup features mums who just make our days feel a little easier. Among them, you'll find experts including midwives and doctors, mothers of multiples, weaning experts, mum mental health advocates, and a few famous faces.
These mums use their platforms to tell their stories, give expert advice, support other mums in their community and raise awareness on topics like premature birth, maternal mental health challenges, breastfeeding and toddler development.
Motherhood is the most rewarding job in the world, but we know it doesn't come without its challenges. For many of us, those days can feel overwhelming and quite lonely at times, which is why social media can be such an amazing place to connect with likeminded mums going through those same feelings. That's why we at Mother&Baby made the Mum List, giving you a chance to shout about the mums who make you feel great about being a mum and for you to find out more about the mums you might not yet be following.
Our fellow parents have voted for their favourite online mums who they feel create a safe, honest and uplifting community on social media.
So, give our list a look and if there are any names you aren't familiar with, we encourage you to give them a follow...
