11 Types of Young Moms You Will Meet

Young moms are in a league all their own. They might be balancing jobs (and social media accounts), but they keep an open mind when it comes to parenting styles and see the journey of motherhood as a difficult but ultimately rewarding experience (and don't we all?). If you're a millennial mother yourself, then you can relate to how much society has changed since your own parents raised you. Because young moms (and those young at heart) number in the millions, we went looking for the most recognizable ones. Which of these types of new moms have you met before?

By the first month you know everything about little Henry, from his food allergies to a butt rash, thanks to his mom’s constant stream of photos and status updates. If you didn't share a photo of your baby on Instagram or Facebook, did you even really have one?

02
The Trendy Mom

The Trendy Mom

Burberry, Zara, J.Crew . . . you name it, and this mom has it for her baby. She cares about looking fashion forward, and her baby is no exception. Plus, a pricey-yet-cute onesie is totally worth it for those extra Instagram likes.

03
The Ladder-Climbing Mom

She may run a blog dedicated to her loves (because #familygoals) or work a 9-to-5 office job, but either way, this mama is all about her career. She had her child early so she could stay one step ahead of the game.

04

06
The iPhone-Sharing Mom

The Former Wild Child Mom

She used to fall asleep next to her tequila shot but now falls asleep next to a baby monitor. Her priorities have changed drastically since she gave birth, and she's better for it. But that still doesn't mean she can't party with the best of them when an appropriate moment arises.

The Semi-Health-Conscious Mom

Her child only drinks from 100 percent plant-based and sustainably sourced baby bottles, and you can bet those veggies are all organic. But as for her meal? A little junk food never hurt anybody, OK?
