A "momfluencer" is an influencer on social media that posts content directed at other moms. It gained prominence in the late 2010s on Instagram, a photo- and video-sharing platform.
Momfluencing is a controversial trend with critics on both sides. Some argue that it glosses over the hardships of motherhood to present a sanitized, dreamlike existence with perfect, unattainable kids. Also, the momfluencers are trying to sell themselves and products, which makes them appear disingenuous.
Others argue that momfluencers give moms a platform to share their day-to-day experiences when they are often dismissed. And when a momfluencer is authentic, it enables other moms to communicate more honestly and openly.
