This was me with my first! We put unnecessary pressure on us as first time mums and I feel you ❤️ I am sitting here with my second born who is only 2 weeks old and we are just taking each day slowly - we haven’t done any tummy time yet or gone out for a walk - just enjoying lots of cuddles and contact naps ❤️it’s so hard first time round but try to just enjoy the moment if you can. I wish I could say that to myself as a first time mum as I am enjoying the newborn stage soooo much more this time round xx
Little and often that's how I manage it with housework, I do 20 mins per day and plan on a Sunday, I also have him strapped to me whilst doing the housework, he loves the movement and settles really well. I aim to go for a walk twice a week sometimes more but I don't push it. I meet friends x1 or twice a week. He's 6 weeks old and to be honest the only time I do tummy time is after a feed when I lay him on my chest, my partner puts him on the play mat and interacts with him. You just don't have time to do it all. X
It's really unfair that all the media we look at makes us feel like we need to do everything as mum's. I felt the same with my first If you only do one of those a day, I bet your baby still feels loved, is developing at the right speed for them, feels secure and is thriving! You're doing great x
