Your Baby's Sleep Does Not Define You
I had a consultation last week where this sweet mom felt like a failure every time her baby didn’t follow the schedule to a T.
Woke up early from a nap? Mom fail.
Didn’t fall asleep quickly at bedtime? Must be my fault.
Isn’t sleeping through the night yet like my friend’s baby? Why am I so bad at this?!
You guys. This couldn’t be more far from the truth and I want you to hear me loud and clear:
Your baby’s sleep does not define you as a mother.
Read that again 👆🏼.
No matter how hard you try, babies are not robots and are going to still be babies! They will still have unpredictable days/weeks/months or even years (toddlers, anyone?!).
Can you put in some work to teach them how to sleep to help with this? Yes, and when you’re ready I’m here for you. But regardless of whether or not your baby is sleeping, you are an amazing mother. ❤️
Never forget that:)
