Bad day
I'm having a massive wobble today and just feel like I'm not cut out for this. I feel like I've lost all sense of myself and who I am. I almost dread social interactions now because I feel like I don't even know how to have a normal conversation anymore. I love my little one so much and feel like I'm constantly letting them down somehow. All the other mums I see seem to have it so much more together and talk of routines, weaning successes, etc like it's all second nature but I struggle so much. We have no routine as each day is so different. I feel so disconnected from my body and from my partner who is brilliant and that makes me feel even worse. Just being negative and having a vent after one of those days.

Losing yourself is hard! What sort of things were you into before baby arrived?
Routines are overrated! If you and baby are happy with your set up, nothing needs to change! My kids naturally fell into a routine. Nothing was ever forced.
Why do you feel like you’re failing with weaning? Don’t forget that people only ever post about their wins. Life - especially with a young baby - is not truthfully shown on social media!
Have you communicated your feelings with your partner?
All of this just shows how much you care and what a fantastic mum you must be!
We don’t have a routine and everything changes each day. Weaning can go great one day and awful the next. Don’t compare yourself to anyone as we all have bad days!
No recommendations, but just support ❤️ it'll be okay, I'm sure you're doing amazing. And the fact that you're worrying about it, means that you care so much! You got this! 🫶🏼
my baby still wakes frequently too. We co sleep and she’s on the boob a lot in the night, but it doesn’t bother me! I’m responding to her needs. My 2 year old doesn’t sleep with us anymore and is no longer breastfed, so there will be an end to this! I know so many people would think I’m ‘failing’ for my parenting choices, but to me I’m winning.
Thank you everyone, you're kind words mean the world and I'm feeling a bit better now ❤️
