The key is to slow down. Housework, hygiene, health, none of it has a time limit. If you slow down everything will get done. It goes so much faster than you can possibly imagine. Remember that there will come a time when you'll miss nursing and pooping at the same time and you will miss even the most intense tears and screams that come from your beautiful baby. They cling to you for such a short time. Embrace it. It's such a special time. Just go slow and prioritize everything. Nothing is more important than this time. I have 5 kids ages 10, 8, 6, 2, and 1 month. A decade has blown by and many regrets and guilty feelings have come and vanished. I teach my kids that when you make mistakes you can't dwell in that space. You have to let go to make room for something new to come in, and when you let go of that mistake you will learn a lesson from it. And when we learn better, we do better the next time we face a similar situation. Parenting is go with the flow. Don't force your child into your world, learn to blend and flow with one another.

Great talk! I feel that the concept of the “village” has been forgotten! The reason people are so anxious and find themselves isolated and thinking negative thoughts is because there is no village anymore and people are raising their babies/children alone which was never meant to be the way for centuries/millennia, humans have raised their children together. It’s very helpful and the way we are doing things is leading to more post partum depression and overwhelmed parents.
@b.martin93445 жыл бұрын
True to a certain extent. I think some people isolate themselves or take on everything single handed because of what the village has become. You hear so many stories about babies or children being murdered by the babysitter, daycare worker, the boyfriend/girlfriend, the grandparent or even a family friend. Sometimes people know they need the help, but they have no idea who they can trust in this day and age to actually care for the child as they're expected to.

I did 8 years of Sales before I had my baby. Before being a mum my whole week was about KPIs. It was stressful but when you hit your KPI it was super satisfactory. You can calculate the incentives by the amount of work you put in. My whole life was dominated by numbers. So when I had baby, guess what No quantitative measurement of the effort I am putting. No ROI. It drive me crazy. I was confused all the time. I kept having this anxiety that I was doing something wrong. I made an excel chart to track my babies feeding and pooping. Lol My mum told me to relax. She said that if they cry than that means they are either hungry or wet or sometimes they just want to cry. Hold them love them and forget the rest. I was scared that if I hold him too much he will get used to it, but my mum said that this moment will pass so soon and I will regret that I didn’t hold him enough. And it was so true.

I'm noticing a lot of mothers questioning their parenthood or what they did while pregnant. Ladies YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. We are all looking for guidance just like our babies are looking for it. You never know what's right for your baby because all babies are different. I ended having to experiment different methods of sleep training because my child would take a while to fall asleep and would only sleep 45 minutes to an hour most the time. It takes time and effort, my sister told me and it does. It's not easy. No one said it would be. Eventually your baby adapts to your routine and it gets more and more better for you both but do not expect the first 3 months to be easy because within that time they are learning how to sleep and when to sleep and how to put themselves to sleep. Don't feel guilty. It's not worth the time. Sometimes you will feel like an awful mother but the only thing that would make you an awful mother is if you gave up and abandoned your baby. Be proud. As women we work hard to do these things. If anything instead of being mean to ourselves, just give yourself a pat on the back for making it through the day.

I relate to this so much. The first 6 months were the hardest adaptation period I've ever experienced. To become a mother is almost to go through metamorphosis. My son was "high needs" also. He was born looking around, blue eyes wide open, taking in everything. The nurses called him "bright eyes" which is coincidentally something my husband called me in our very early days 🤍 You want an alert baby...my son met all of his milestones early and at 16 months old is the happiest, cuddliest, and smartest baby I've ever known. He plays independently. He can problem solve. He amazes me. And he's still just as alert lol 🤣 he literally doesn't stop moving until he sleeps, his energy gives me energy!

Touching them and making them feel safe will prevent an anxiety in the future. We just want to control too much.

Parenting is terrifying.. maybe because I study psychology and early childhood education! I'm truly debating if I want children. We're overpopulated and not having children sounds selfish to society. However, having kids also sounds selfish since none of us asked to be here. I'm a teacher, maybe I should stick with my career. I have the opportunity to see children grow and learn without them being mine.

I do not agree with the distinction between developed and undeveloped countries, it is the same no matter the country

In undeveloped countries usually few generations live in a same household, it makes everything easier.

Our room is 2 king size mattresses in the bedroom and our baby and toddler sleep with us otherwise we would get no sleep.
I didn’t care about people’s opinion. I knew my baby and myself and I co-slept. You think back in the day cavewomen left their babies to sleep alone in their own cave?!! No! They co-slept!!!

Right?! It's terrible to see so many mothers and fathers put their young baby in a bed of their own, let alone leave them in a different room for the night - without any body contact during sleep.

@@t.r.1457 It's "terrible"? What's terrible is rolling over onto your baby and increasing SIDS risk. Just because it didn't happen to your baby doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Also, to the original comment, please don't use cavewomen as a barometer for good parenting. Infant mortality even 15 years ago was significantly higher. I'll pass on co-sleeping.

Bedsharing is extremely dangerous. The CDC has statistics about this. It is one of the number one causes of SIDS typically due to suffocation. Yes it would be so much easier to sleep with the baby on the bed, but it puts the baby at risk of suffocation and as parents we must sacrifice comfort to keep them safe.

Would have been really helpful if the video was titled, "What every new mother should know"? That's fine, videos for mums are great and it would save dads time when they are looking for relevant info for themselves.

Make it your goal to help your children to love God. Then they will act wisely even when they are not with you. Just as God teaches by example, teach your children to love God by your example.

Well I hope that like any healthy spirited mother you would be proud of her even if she did not have children. If she had told you that she wants to focus on her career, travel, date or live her life to the fullest without kids I do hope you would've been proud also. As a mother. Because as long as you are fertile, making babies is easy. Raising them is another story. Women tend to live in a fairytale world posting about their kids on FB flaubting it just like the Watts did and look what behind closed doors happened. You cannot assume life is perfect by looking at what people post. Of course they only post the good stuff. Women are free now. We are not baby making machines. We can adopt. Take our own decisions and still be strong and hard working. This world is insane. Tons of kids need to be adopted. We don't need to make more babies. It's selfish.
