Mum guilt

I don’t really know what I want to get out of posting this I guess I just want to vent 😅 I feel so so guilty that the only interaction my 7 month old gets is from me and her dad. She occasionally sees her nanny and grandad from her dad’s side but that’s been around twice this year and my family don’t even check up on her let alone see her.. I haven’t got any friends and I live in a small village where there’s no local baby groups etc 🤦🏻‍♀️ There’s just a lot of guilt today 😅

She's only 7 months, they're not super interactive with others at that age a lot of the time. Do you take her for walks or to the shops?

First of all, you're doing an amazing job simply by caring so much. That guilt you feel is actually a sign of how deeply you love and want the best for your baby. At 7 months old, the most important thing your child needs is a strong, secure attachment with you and her dad — and she's getting exactly that. Babies this age don't need a wide social circle; they need love, attention, safety, and bonding. You're already giving her a strong foundation for healthy relationships later in life. Living in a small village without many resources can feel isolating, but please know that your little one isn't missing out right now. In time, when she's older, you might find more opportunities for playdates, libraries, or even simple walks where you both can interact with the environment. For now, your voice, your cuddles, your games, and your love are more than enough. You are enough. Be gentle with yourself — you are exactly the mum your baby needs. xxx

Right now, you and dad are all she needs ❤️🫂
