Mom guilt is pulling me down

Every time I take a break, my mom guilt kicks in, making me feel like I never do enough. It makes me feel bad for taking even a short break, and I tend to forget that a healthy baby requires a healthy, rested mother.

It is so important to remember that while we are moms, we are also human beings who need a break too.

I feel you. Hope you feel better soon.

I feel this. But you need breaks mamma! I need to tell myself too

I totally understand that feeling but try to remember you can take care of there best when you take care of yourself as well!! It’s so important

You are worthy of a break! Without time to ourselves we over load ourselves and can experience caregiver burn out quick.

I hope you start feeling better soon. :heart:

This is why I think every mom needs some sort of support system where that is their partner, friends or family because it really takes a village to raise a baby.

I know what you mean! I don’t trust anyone completely watching my daughter. The only time I get to truly relax is when she’s taking a nap and I can check on her with the monitor
