Single mums and first time mums

Been going through a lot the past couple months my LO is nearly 3 months now and i constantly worry that im not enough for her and always really scared im gonna let her down or something. Seeing her little face and how it lights up means the world to me. I want her to have everything and more just really dont want to disappoint. Does anyone else ever have feelings like this?

All the damn time 😭😭😭 I always worry about what I’m going to tell my little one when he’s older and asks about why he doesn’t have a daddy/who his daddy is… your little girl is gorgeous btw.

@Kiara nice to know someone feels the same 😅😅 i worry about the same too. i just hope her dad gets his priorities right by then after all we both wanted to bring her into the world 🤷‍♀️ thank you so much 🥰

I worry about that from time to time as well but ultimately your baby just wants you and your attention! They really don’t need so much at this age. Being present is the big one and the fact that you’re thinking about her well-being says it all! You’re doing great mama!

Mom guilt is real and crippling - but truly you’re doing everything you can. My son is 14 months and I still feel this to my core every single day, even though deep down inside me I know I’m doing everything and more and am probably one of the best mamas I know. Hormones are a wild and crazy thing and your brain and heart change so much when the baby arrives. You’re doing wonders! This post alone shows that you’re a fantastic mom ♥️

The fact you worry about all this indicates to me that your are an amazing mother. It’s natural to worry, Try and soak up this tinyness. Look how happy she looks. Your all she needs xx

Im not a single mum but I am a first time mum and I solo parent 5 days a week, have done every week since my girl was born and she's almost 1. I get this feeling almost every day. Honestly it's normal in those first few years. We all want to do right by our kids making sure they get enough milk, sleep, food, enough play, sensory, hit milestones. It's bonkers how much we actually have to take on alone. Just know you are doing a brilliant job because she looks so happy

Yep constantly feel this being a solo mum. Even for my dogs as I’m busy with the baby predominantly. And I know (silly as it sounds to those that don’t have dogs) they were my first babies who got loads of attention prior .. how they light up when a friend comes over. And also how baby loves one or two of my friends when they visit. It’s a constant worry I think when your their sole carer if their getting enough. And doing it all alone single handedly making sure they are getting enough. That they’re happy and fulfilled enough. But I’ve seen some great bonds between solo parents and their child (that’s older) and we just have to worry less and live in the present for them. That’s what I keep telling myself. Easier said than done. Also had a rough pregnancy and the past few months. Don’t doubt yourself. You can do it ❤️
