What's Your Animal Mothering Style?

 
By Heather K. Scott
What's your animal mothering style? Do you rule your roost with an iron fist? Or is your parenting style much more laid-back and earthy? Take our quiz and find out what animal mother type you're most like.

  1. When your baby was born, did you:

    Find yourself somehow managing to care for your newborn while maintaining a clean house, getting in a daily shower, and having dinner on the table at a reasonable hour (all without the help of your spouse!)
    Lose track of time while spending hours playing with your infant, reading stories, and just watching your little one grow
    Religiously keep up with the feeding and diaper changing chart that came with your hospital release packet for your newborn, track the time of every nursing or bottle session, and stay up to date on every dirty diaper
    Carry photos of your newborn everywhere, sharing them with not just family and friends, but the local grocery clerk, the mailman, and people you pass on the street
