I feel like a bad mom.

I’m a FTM. My baby is 7.5mo. I see lots of mummies in my EDD group discussing about enrichment classes, sending to school, sleep training and feedings. My case… I don’t follow anything nor do I train my LO. Both my husband and I only intend to send LO to PG at 24mo. She wakes up everyday at around 9/10am to drink a bottle then back to sleep till 1/2pm. I don’t sleep train her, so if she wants to sleep, I will make her sleep. If she doesn’t, then she can play her toys. Her usual wake time is 2 hours and the last wake time is around 3-4 hours. She usually sleeps at 9/10pm but will wake up at 12am, then she will roll with us till 1-2am. I tried BLW with her but she has no interest, she just keeps opening her mouth while looking at me so I switch back to traditional weaning. I only feed her porridge, purées, water and occasionally fruits. Whenever I see mummies cooking nice foods for their LO, I feel like I’m not doing well enough compared to other mummies.. 😣 Whenever mummies talked about enrichment classes or school, I’ll be full of ??? I feel like I’m not doing a good job haiz 😔 Is it wrong to follow baby’s pace? #advicepls #firstbaby #1stimemom

Never feel bad about not keeping up with what other mummies are doing. You are what you are. How you bring up your little one and what you plan ahead for your child different depend on the pace of your child. My first child, I felt the same way as you. But I told myself every little gem of us are not same. We dont compare ourselves with other mummies. Who knows they may have helper to help, they have free time to do it, they wish to explore different activities for their little one. So dont ever feel bad. Perhaps if you wish to try it for your little one, you can do it when you are free. Hugs ❤

Dont ever feel bad. Ignore what people say. You can spend time like playing at the playground, go to park whatever you think would suits you and your little one. This is when you are free, aint tired or you feel like having a day out with her. Keep it at ur own pace and your style. If you are not good in cooking, you may try to explore little by little. It is definitely fine if it is not perfect. We learn as trial and error. Sooner or later, you will get the hang of it. Remember dont feel bad about it. Dont take it so hard and comparing it with other mummies. My first child not even sending to swimming class or any enrichment, she speaks alot, she is active and she is expressive. 🤗
