Before heading into our breakaway sessions, our lovely panel of speakers come up on stage for a brief Q&A session to some questions moms wanted to know the answers to. They provided helpful insight to their favorite parenting books, what they’d go back and change about their first year of parenthood, and even giving tips for finding “me time.”
