I barely saw this today, so I’ll be posting two separate posts for yesterday and today. Love this topic, and I’ve been bottling up a lot of wishes, believe me! I wish people would stop offering advice about me mothering my baby and just wait until or if I ask for it. I know they mean well, but it just makes me think they think I don’t know what I’m doing, which yes, I don’t know what I’m doing, but this is my first baby and I’m learning as I go. I’m trying my best!

Oh my gosh I feel this! Right I’m learning and growing and that’s motherhood but the unsolicited advice is so unhelpful sometimes! And it’s not like their way is your way we all do things differently so just let us figure out how we want to do it

You hit the nail on the head with this one! I’m a first time mom and definitely still figuring things out, but overall my baby is safe, fed, and happy so I think we’re doing okay and can absolutely live without all the judgey comments!

Exactly! If I want advice, I’ll ask for it. Family is really bad about this. All babies aren’t the same. I’ve found what works for us, and I don’t need to change it just because they did things differently with their kids when they were that age.

I have 3 kids and still get the unwanted advice 
I want to say every baby is different and what worked for you might not work for me Karen 
they mean well but geez it’s so annoying sometimes
