About Us

Welcome to MomReady — the honest, practical resource for first-time moms and expecting parents who want clear guidance without the overwhelm.

Pregnancy and the newborn stage move fast. One week you’re reading about hospital bags, the next you’re Googling why your baby won’t stop crying at 3 a.m. MomReady was built for exactly those moments — to give you the answers you need, in plain language, when you need them most.

Who Is Lauren Marie Mitchell?

Lauren Marie Mitchell is a devoted mom of two and passionate pregnancy and newborn care writer who has spent years helping first-time parents navigate the beautiful chaos of expecting and raising a baby. Lauren created MomReady after experiencing firsthand how overwhelming it can be to find clear, reliable guidance during pregnancy and the early newborn weeks — and how much difference a simple checklist or honest guide can make.

Lauren is not a medical professional — just a real mom who has been through the sleepless nights, the hospital bag panic, and the endless Google searches at 3 a.m. Every article on this site is researched using trusted sources including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the World Health Organization (WHO), so you always get information you can count on.

What You’ll Find Here

MomReady covers three core areas that matter most during pregnancy and the newborn stage:

  • Pregnancy Guide & Tips: week-by-week guides, trimester tips, hospital bag checklists, birth plan templates, and everything you need to feel prepared before baby arrives.
  • Newborn Care & Sleep: sleep schedules, feeding guides, soothing techniques, breastfeeding vs formula, and the must-haves that actually make a difference in those early weeks.
  • Baby Planners & Checklists: free printable checklists, milestone trackers, nursery guides, budget planners, and postpartum recovery resources — all designed to help you stay organized and confident.
