Guilt of another baby

You just have to give it time from my experience. The first two weeks were the hardest and I just cried out of guilt every night but seeing my little girl start to love and want to play with my little boy made it easier 💜

Honestly my first and second are two yrs apart and they have the cutest relationship. He loves his sister so much and they play together. I think it only affects them for the first couple months. But what helped for me was having my mom and grandma come for a few weeks to play with my son so he didn’t feel left out and the transition was pretty easy.

I appreciate that it's hard not to want to be there for your child like you were before a second baby but I would really push against feeling guilty. I felt really emotional when I was having my 2nd too, its normal to feel emotional because your relationship will change a bit but mostly just for a short time while you need to be with your baby more full on. It seems like us mum's have mum guilt put on us as if it's something we have to feel just because we CANNOT do everything for everyone. When our mothers were raising us they didn't have this pressure to be perfect. Quite frankly fuck mum guilt!! Try to remember that having another child is an amazing thing, you are giving your child a sibling, a playmate, a friend.
