Being a mom in today’s society comes with so many invisible pressures. You are constantly being told how to parent, how to feed your baby, how to feel, what is the best thing to give them to eat, how to behave once you have children and the list goes on. These pressures can come from social media, family, friends and even some nosy strangers!!!
We are constantly being judged, when we ourselves are trying to find our feet to be the best we can be for our babies. There is no right or wrong way to do things as a new mum and you have to find a way that works for both you and our baby.
When i had my first baby i was still living at home and my mum was always telling me how to wash the baby how and when to feed him and everything i was supposedly doing wrong in her eyes. Now even though none of this advice was coming from a bad place it was very suffocating and didn’t leave me much room to find my feet as a mother. I just felt as though I couldn’t do anything right, and that’s a feeling no new mother wants to feel!!! I had to voice my feelings to her before she realised that her advice was having a negative effect on me. Communication is key guys!!
So i am here to remind you that no matter how much society may make you feel that you re not doing enough, believe in your sauce because you are!!!! Parenting is a life long lesson, that we will continuously learn from.
