Blogging may make new mothers feel happier. Fellow mothers, do you remember that feeling of isolation that came with staying at home, alone, with that tiny, needy, crying, confusing baby they handed you at the hospital? Fathers, if you took on the primary caregiving role solo, for months or years, you can’t possibly have forgotten that sense of being stranded on an island of Cheerios and Raffi music. If your experience was within the last decade, you know the Internet helps. A small research study, conducted by a new father from Brigham Young University, suggests that blogging — creating a space of your own within the online space — helps even more.
