A positive post

I really hope people take this post as a positive and not that I am bragging or anything. I just find that everytime I come on the internet about anything baby related all I read is negative stuff & it makes me worry & stress and it took over my life when my little girl was first born! She has just turned 5 months and we’ve had such a good day today. She’s been struggling with naps for ages now and only contact napping for 30mins at a time. But today she has had 2 long naps so far on the sofa (safely!!), the one she just had was over 2 hours long. She’s been happy and smiley all day and not really cried at all! Also the last 4 nights in a row she’s slept through the night! She’s been a good night time sleeper since we got into a bedtime routine at 3 months old. She has always woken once in the night for a feed but the last few nights I’ve given her her dummy when she’s woken up and she’s gone straight back to sleep. Bed at 7pm and she’s waking between 6-7am. I’ve been so productive today - I managed to dye my hair this morning whilst she played in her high chair next to me. I’ve got three loads of washing done, cleaned the kitchen and tidied up all whilst she’s been playing and I have been checking on her. She usually gets upset after 10 mins or so of playing by herself but she’s so happy today! Just feel really happy today like this is what motherhood is meant to feel like!! I hope anyone reading this takes it as a positive post and that it gives people some positive vibes that things get easier and you will feel happier and more confident as time goes on! This is my first time having a baby and I am learning everyday but today has been the best so far 😁 We had a rough time from 3.4-4 months with naps and needing to be held a lot, so this is such a breakthrough. Just happy today 😁😁

Amazing to hear! It’s nice to have days where it feels normal and quite easy as it can be tricky some days. My little one has been lovely and slept well today so I’m feeling the positive vibes 🥳

Aww such a lovely post! It’s great when the day makes you feel soo happy and positive. My girl who also only has contact naps did an hour sleep in her pram and she’s currently down for a nap next to me on the sofa. I’ve managed the past two days to cook my self a proper meal whilst she napped as I’ve made my health quite bad with not eating properly and todays nap I cleared all the bathroom cupboards out. It felt like my life was under control for once😅

@Rheo oh I get this feeling! I have been wanting to eat healthier for ages and I really want to lose weight but I’ve been eating for convenience for months now. It’s so nice to be able to make a good lunch 😁 glad you’ve had a good day too!

@Leanne honestly! I’ve ended up with gallstones. Which is triggered from fatty foods so I need to start taking care. But with husband working a lot of nights and baby’s being baby’s it’s impossible x

I'm so happy for you, thank you for sharing. I think there should be more of this, as it really helps give everyone else hope 😂
