Feeling inadequate

You are not a crap mum! Firstly you have been trying to do all these things with her, thats great even if she hasn’t picked them up with you yet. Secondly the nursery workers are trained and have had plenty and plenty of practice so they’re going to know tricks and ways that you wont. Thirdly some babies don’t like to do things with their primary care giver as much as with others. My littler girl did loads of things first with her dad/my husband than with me, even though i was the one with her 24/7. Its normal to feel the sting of it, but i promise you, you are doing a brilliant job and the fact shes doing them so easily now is because you have been doing it with her beforehand. Don’t take it to heart, you’re an amazing mumma! X

You are not a crap mum in the slightest! Every baby learn things differently and at different paces. My wee boy is 6 months old and is just starting to sit unaided, he can say mama/mum and dada/dad and he can hold his bottle himself to feed himself, roll over etc but just sitting is proving challenging for me, I’ve been trying to teach him to crawl as well but we aren’t getting the hang of that quite yet. I was worried I wasn’t doing a good enough job and I would cause him to be late meeting his milestones etc but even the health visitor said every baby is different and he is absolutely fine. I promise you that your little princess is greatly benefiting from all you do with her, even if you don’t feel it or notice it, every little thing helps. Keep smashing motherhood hen, you’ve got this x
