Do u worry your not doing it right?

[Miss_Bump]

I worry all the time with Evie

I worry incase I'm doing things wrong.

If course all us mums want to give our babies the best but sometimes I just get so overwhelmed and then worry incase I crumble.

Evie scratched her face today and made it bleed! I squashed her thumb under her bumbo tray and she cried

She is teething so has been groggy so I've generally had a crappy day

DH was holding her tonight and he sneezed and made her jump and she cried and looked at me and lifted our her arms to me bless her

I just hope I'm doing it all right for my girl. It's bloody hard work being a mum

Sounds to me like you are doing a great job! I think being a mommy is hardest job there is and also the most rewarding. I wonder at times too. But then she smiles and I know I must be doing something right. Hope your day gets better!

I think lifelong worrying might be what we signed up for

Don't worry about the scratch or the bumbo, accidents are bound to happen!

The fact that she held out her arms to you when she needed to be comforted means she obviously loves you and thinks you;re doing it right

 

[Sam9kids]

Awww hun, dont worry you are doing great. No parent is perfect and as long as baby is happy, then thats all that matters... and i bet your lo is xxx

 

[bump_wanted]

all the time i worry im not good enough...your not alone there xx

 

[rainbows_x]

I worry constantly!

You are definitley not alone, you sound like a wonderful mum hun. x

 

[Cookie_Clare]

Constantly, and then I worry about worrying! Sounds like you are doing great though, I can't wait for the day when LO holds her arms out to me.

 

[WW1]

Yes I worry LOTS! I'm getting better though - mainly because I've realised that for 99% of things there is no absolute right or wrong!

The way I see it, as long as I know I'm doing my best then it should be fine. I'm not a complete idiot and have a modicum of common sense (I like to think!) If I don't know something I ask.

Worrying is part of the parenthood package though so you're definitely not alone!!

No parent is perfect. Sounds like you are already doing a great job, as if you were not then you wouldn't even be concerned that you weren't!
I make the odd mistake sometimes too and curse myself for ages, I'm learning new things all the time, what LO likes and dislikes, what to do, what not to do, being a 1st time mum these things sometimes have to be learnt naturally and cant be taught.
There shouldnt be any pressure when bringing up a LO, everyday spent with them should hopefully be enjoyable, but dont beat yourself up if its not

I second guess myself all the time. Motherhood is the only thing I've ever doubted myself on, I'm usually so confident in my abilities.

I know just what you mean ... I am 37, have moved to 3 different countries, learned Dutch (and speak it every day), have 2 degrees ... so I've done plenty of things in my life, and I worry all the time that I could or should be doing more or better for my little boy!

 

[OULINA]

i worry all the time too ...but mostly i feel guilty because i just cant be the mommy i was with my older son ....feel like im constantly yelling at him while im so sweet with my little girl .... i dont have the time or the energy which is very unfair for him .. i dont know about you ladies but im always feeling tired trying to have everything perfect by the time hubby comes home ....and then i feel like all i talk to him about is what to bring back from the supermarket the next day ...where did that sweet sexy wife go ?....dont get me wrong being a mom of course is the best gift ever but i just dont feel like im doing anything right .... im just wondering does it get easier or harder latter on ?
sorry as u can see not only did i not give u some advise i feel like i stoled your thread ...

 

[beatnick]

i wonder every day if i am doing any of this right!

the HV always says to me ..."relax, stop worrying and enjoy your baby".

i try to think of that!

 

[Lara310809]

All the time. I mostly worry that I don't stimulate her enough. I try to spend a lot of time with her, but I can't spend every second of the day with her, or I'd go mad I worry about her language though, and wonder if she is learning enough from me, becuase I don't say that much, it's mainly baby talk. Her favourite sound right now is "gehhhhhhh"

 

[PrayinForBaby]

So nice to have found this today of all days for us here! Haley either slept, ate, or cried ALL DAY LONG! I missed my sweet little baby that always looks and smiles at me and bc she cried so hard for so long today I felt like she hated me! So no you are definitely not alone!

 

[matsuken]

I think you're a doing great as a mother and worrying is part of the parenthood package.

 

[aob1013]

You are doing a fantastic job, your instincts are always right. We don't have a rule book, so don't beat yourself up too much.

I am constantly worried that i am doing something wrong, is co-sleeping right? Is letting him cry ok? Is this ok is that ok .. it's never ending, but i can assure you our LO's will love us all the same. Mum's know best xx
