While moms clearly turn to online communities and social networks for advice, support and connection (60% report having used a social network in the past 24 hours), their offline personal network of family and friends still drives purchasing behavior, trumping online social networks by a scale of 4 to 1.

Kudos from our members:

MomConnection has really been a huge help to me as a first-time Mom. You think you know what you are doing when you bring your beautiful baby home, and then you realize that you know very little. It's so nice to be able to get on here and get opinions from other moms who have been there, done that. I am on here everyday faithfully, no matter what kind of day I've had. Check the email and check the MomConnection!!!
