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

hi! I've been in ur shoes before, my son is 3 and in the past we have been gifted flash cards, book series, arts and crafts, by relatives with good intentions. even recommended enrichment classes etc. but I did absolutely nothing, the stuff still collecting dust in a corner. my stand is very clear: I am the lazy, laid-back mommy and I feel education should be left to the professionals 😃 and that's what I informed the relatives when they asked about progress. even my husband asked me not to be so lazy.. so I just pointed finger back at him - why not he do it then? I've no regrets, my son is outspoken for 3y.o., is observant, active and expressive 😊

Omg yes this!! I got my baby books, flash cards, toys and even DVDs but ended up not using them.. I offered her educational baby videos on YouTube instead and there was once a mummy made a comment like “wa you introduced screen time already your baby confirm more active la.” She didn’t introduce any screen time to her baby so I felt like I did wrongly. There’s even an area playgroup which made me feel even more stressful, but at the same time I can’t reject not going. (They are the ones who enrolled their kids in swimming, enrichment classes etc etc.) Hoping my LO will be like your son 🤞🏻
