At what point did you look at your child with immense happiness or pride?

I was on survival mode in pp and at two weeks I slept with my baby for the first time and that’s when I fell in love with him. I had this warm feeling in my heart, something I’ve never felt before and I coslept (not recommended, I did it as safely as possible) with him since. Sleeping with my baby is one of most beautiful things in this world for me. And now my son is learning to walk, talk and I fall in love even deeper each day. Despite going through the worst circumstances of my life, I look at him and he’s my reason for being here💖❤️ I didn’t know my heart was capable of so much love, I’m a new person

After I stopped breastfeeding the kids I breastfed. It hindered my bonding.

I'm always proud of my kids but they all do different things that just makes me more proud. Like my oldest is autistic and he graduated high-school. My middle son has anxiety but does theater. So everytime he on stage i tear a little. My daughter has dyslexia and is very self conscious so when she does good on her test and things. Or she performs in school. I also want to cry.

The second he came out of my vagina 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

and in recent, when he hopped on his bike for the first time and just pedaled away 🥰

Don’t want to make this sad but I look at my 4 month old everyday with such pride and love for her. She was seconds away from losing her life a week after she was born due to heart failure as I sensed something was wrong and took her to A&E. She ended up in intensive care and we were told she might not make it or that if she does I won’t be able to breastfeed her anymore. She proved the doctors wrong as slowly but surely her heart improved and she came off the oxygen and ng tube and I managed to breastfeed her again. Tough time in my life but after reading your post I cant help but express my love and pride for her. She’s fought through so much already and I can’t seem to forget it everytime I look at her ❤️
I also have 2 other toddlers and I’m so proud of them when I see how they are with their new baby sister considering they’re still so young themselves. They show her so much love and it makes me so extremely proud that there’s no jealousy just pure love 🥰 ❤️ my love for them hurts x

All the time. I think every day. 🥹

Well last time was about 5 minutes ago. She absolutely hates brushing her teeth most of the time and shakes her head and looks away and I say please Astaria will you brush your teeth for me and she puts on a brave face and lets me brush her teeth then we do a happy dance for her after every time it makes me so proud she brushes her teeth even when she doesn’t want to sometimes
