Heard of Moms for Moms Day yet? Not so long ago, The Bump and CTWorkingMoms.com got together for a photo shoot where moms and moms-to-be shared their biggest Mommy Truths in a safe, friendly space. We - along with the team from CT Working Moms - created the day because we want every woman to feel comfortable, confident and proud of her choices as a mother (and mama-to-be). We were so inspired by the CT Working Moms Campaign for Judgment-Free Motherhood shoot that we wanted to expand the message by encouraging moms everywhere to stand up and support one another.

The journey to motherhood is flooded with decisions (from the type of diapers you'll buy to the ways you'll feed your infant and the sleep-training methods you'll subscribe to) and our goal is to support, encourage and stand behind each and every mother's choices - and Moms for Moms Day is our way of putting an end to the judgments that moms make toward one another.

On March 4, we'll be asking moms across the country (and around the globe!) to share their own Mommy Truths on social media using the hashtag #Moms4Moms and tagging @TheBump and @CTWorkingMoms. Together, we're all one step closer to finally closing the door on the Mommy Wars.
