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

I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with following your child’s pace. Every child is different. I feel relationship building is most important when child is young. In fact, every bonding session, meal time, play time, conversations you have with your little one, is learning to her. Learning doesn’t have to be intentional, incidental learning through her daily experiences is so precious. Enjoy every moment with your little one. You’re doing great! (:
