Community Rules
How we hold each other.
Simple, human rules so every mother can exhale here.
- 01
Empathy first
Assume she’s doing her best. Lead with kindness.
- 02
Validate before advice
Acknowledge how she feels before offering anything else.
- 03
Ask before advising
Check whether ideas are wanted. Respect her tone badge.
- 04
Different choices welcome
Feeding, sleep, work, schooling — there’s no single right way.
- 05
No shaming, bullying or discrimination
Of anyone, for any reason.
- 06
No diagnosis or medical instruction
Share experience, not treatment plans. See a health professional for medical questions.
- 07
No selling, scams or solicitation
This is a village, not a marketplace.
- 08
Never identify a child
No children’s full names, schools, birthdates or photos.
- 09
Privacy, always
Do not screenshot or share another member’s words. We cannot prevent someone from copying content, so share only what you feel comfortable sharing.
- 10
No grooming or harassment
Zero tolerance. Reports go straight to our moderators.
Messages are checked before they appear. Some are held for a human moderator, and automatic checks can get things wrong. If yours is held, it isn’t a judgement of you.
Rooms are open any time, but replies and moderators aren’t guaranteed around the clock. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000 or your local emergency number.
Baby Mama Society is peer community, not crisis or medical support.
