One support tip I would add for a new or even seasoned mom is… don’t compare your baby to another. Whether it’s the baby next door, a baby in your due date group, or even their own sibling. Don’t compare milestones. Every baby is different and unique. While one baby may talk before their one, another might not talk until 15 months. One baby might roll at 3 months, and one might not roll until 6 months. But it doesn’t mean they’re behind or struggling. It means they’re their own person and learning at their own pace. Always follow your instinct and your gut, but don’t follow someone else’s. Everyone’s journey is their own. Enjoy it. Don’t compare it.

Yess! I’m in due date groups for all my kiddos and I use to think , why isn’t my baby crawling yet or why aren’t they walking yet. I had to realize every baby is on their own timeline.
This is great advice!

I’m also in groups for all my babies due dates and I did the same thing with my first. I eventually realised after multiple discussions with my kids doctors that it’s not healthy and not all babies progress at the same rate. I especially saw this once I had my 2nd 3rd and 4th baby.
This yes! Thank you for sharing. Everyone is unique in their own way!
THIS INCLUDES YOUR MILK SUPPLY!! Not everyone is, will be or even CAN be an over supplier. What matters is your baby is fed, happy, and healthy. Whatever that looks like. Whether it’s breast feeding, bottle feeding, combo feeding, fortifying your breastmilk, or even formula feeding. A fed baby is a happy baby. That’s what matters most.
