am i a bad mother for leaving baby home alone?

I left my baby alone at home for a few minutes to grab something from the store nearby. he was asleep tho... Now, I'm feeling incredibly guilty. 😔 Am I a bad mother for leaving my baby alone, even for just a short errand? I've never done this before, usually, i will take him wherever but he was so fussy and cried a lot that day meanwhile i need to get this thing done. And now I can't shake off this feeling of guilt. I dont know what to do... I might not be privileged enough to have someone accompanying my baby while i was away. so really dont know what to do.

What’s most important is that baby is safe, so don’t dwell on it too much since it already happened. In the future maybe try baby wearing him and bringing him along? 😊 You won’t know when will your little ninja starts flipping/wriggling/crawling, so to be safe, best to bring him along next time. If you have close neighbours, can probably reach out to them and ask if they can grab the things you need from the store instead too 😊.

I rem a saying, we are all making the best decision we can with the given resources we have at hand at the moment. motherhood is tough so hope you won't beat yourself up too much for it. but yah, I would think it would be best to bring your baby along the next time if possible
