does anyone feel "mother guilt?"

Question

Sometimes I feel like I'm failing. Like my baby is not crawling yet and I'm worrying I'm not giving him enough tummy time? Am I not reading to him enough? Am I feeding him the right things? Am I holding him back? Then I feel bad I work and can't be with him all the time. Is this normal to feel bad sometimes? I just want what's best for my baby. Or am I going crazy

Answer

Well I totally feel the same way. I have guilt over a lot of things as well. I don't know if it's normal but you are definitely not crazy. I figure it's a sign we care about our baby! ❤ my baby is opposite yours:still not really babbling and I wonder if I don't talk to him enough. He is motivated to move around and explore so I let him be. I wonder if I should be working on clapping, waving, etc a lot more during the day. Ugh guilt!

Answer

Constantly. I just love her so much that I want to do what's best for her in every situation. I'm a total type A perfectionist though 😑 so I knew motherhood would be like this and I'm attempting to be more realistic in my expectations. I think all moms feel what you're describing at some point and I'm sure you're doing a great job 😊
