Bad Baby!

When you have a newborn, you're so often asked "are they a good baby?".

Well, what is a good baby? One that doesn't swear, fight and get in trouble with the law we'd say!

Babies have been tucked up warm and snuggly in your tummy for 9 months, when they arrive they may be overwhelmed and want cuddling and fuss when learning to feed (read up on the fourth trimester!). This does NOT make them a bad baby, this is all normal behaviour!

So unless your baby is committing fraud from their bedside crib or joy riding your car, please do not label them 'bad' and just enjoy those snuggles!

You don't have time for that!

Posted • We don’t have time for all that, girl 💁🏻‍♀️

We gotta protect your bubble at all costs. And one of the easiest ways to do that is by just not taking in horror stories. You do not need to be inundated with constant stories about how things were so painful and omg you’ll go right for the drugs and blah blah blah. Hearing this will do nothing but cause you to steep in your anxiety and worry about your birth and your baby. Their birth is not your birth and your experience will be all your own.

One of the easiest ways to avoid this is 1. Change the subject 2. Say you have to p*e and leave 3. Say thanks, I’ll consider that 4. Tell them this kind of topic stresses you out (my favorite bc honestly sometimes people don’t realize they’re doing this) I am also not averse to screeching like a barn owl and running away. But that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not so bad! 😆

“MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE HER IN THERE” was something I actually said during childbirth 😂 I think I was only half kidding.
