Cutting nails is one of the worst jobs, and it almost always falls on on us mums that will take it the worst when they get cut. It is so easy to do, especially if your baby hates it! But that fact you are doing all the horrid care and maintenance jobs shows what a good mum you are. Your doing great, and it is easy for one little thing to push you over that mum guilt cliff and spiral down. It will pass. The thumb will heal and your baby will never remember. Sadly you will because you love that lo so much, you can not bear the thought of hurting them or letting them down. Remember they love you and you are doing great. If feeling realy down persists, speak to your GP or Health Visitor, PND can hit you any time babe, and it can creep up on you too, so don't be afraid to ask for help and talk things through with someone. You are amazing and your baby is so lucky to have you in their life ❤️
We bought the baby electric file off Amazon after accidentally cutting our baby’s finger - it’s been an absolute life saver defo get one! X
I sat on my babies foot when I took her to the toilet with me yesterday. Her foot got caught in between me and the toilet seat without me realising. Its so bruised now and she was absolutely hysterical when it happened. I felt physically sick and I still feel physically sick about it. Its horrible when your baby gets hurt but even worse when its your fault. You are a good mother because you care. A bad mother wouldn’t be thinking about it x
I feel for you, I remember accidentally catching my daughter's skin on her belly trying to buckle her up into a high chair seat, the guilt made me burst into tears and I felt like the worst mum in the world! It did really shake my confidence as a mother at the time and I felt like a 'better' mum wouldn't have made that mistake. The reality is though that these things happen, they heal, and you know deep down that it was nothing more than an accident ❤️
