Feeling like I’m never doing enough

I totally agree. My little one is 4 months old and I'm worried I'm not doing enough with her to keep her entertained in between feeds and naps. 😅😬

Same here!

I’m with you on this! I feel really bad that I haven’t yet taken my little one to any baby classes and I can’t help but worry whether he is just bored with me lol I do try and go for a walk everyday, read to him, play with him and his toys/play gym etc, sing and all of that but is that enough? My MIL also keeps making comments that he is bored during FaceTime (supposedly joking) and has stated that I’m “lazy” which obviously has played on my mind a lot. Sending you lots of love and hugs! You’re definitely not in this alone 🫶🏼

You’re definitely doing enough! All babies need are to be fed, clothed, warm and loved and it sounds like you do all that and way more!!! It’s okay for children to be bored and it’s good for them to learn that too, or in future they will need constant stimulation which will be even more exhausting 😅

@Gunes we don’t go to classes yet either, I haven’t found one that is cheap enough or fits with our schedule so you’re not alone! Also your MIL needs to pipe down 🤣 ignore her!!!!!!

Babies can't get bored at this age tell your MIL to mind her own. Lets be honest they need very little, cuddles, food, clean nappies and a safe place to sleep. That said I've been dancing about the kitchen to entertain my girl today. It's exhausting! I read to her, sing (poor thing!), pop her on the playmat and try tummy time. I find days with no classes harder as she just has me all day!

The fact you’re feeling this shows how incredible you are! It’s hard! I was the sand with my first. Now I feel bad that my 2nd gets left a lot xx

Entertainment 100% feel you! I've suddenly got really anxious and haven't been able to get us to any baby sensory classes. I feel dreadful about it too. I really just need someone to come with me I think. But we barely leave the house, unless we are going to see someone or to the shops. I feel so guilty. I've actually had a convo with IAPT today because I've just been so overwhelmed with it all. My house is a mess, I'm just exhausted mentally and I want to be okay for my little sproglet. You're definitely not alone mumma.
