For first time moms~~ I wish I knew that every baby develops at their own pace. At 3 months, I was anxious about she had no sign of roll over, but look back, it’s not a problem…She rolls over all the time now.

I wish I knew that my baby didn’t need a perfect mom. You just need to let her know you love her!! ❤ Moms need to take care of themselves. The first couple weeks of postpartum are important to us!

I wish I knew that asking for help is a strength. Daddy needs to take care of the baby also! Grandparents can also help if they are willing to~

The worries will fade eventually, the sleepless nights will pass, but the love you build every day will last forever. ❤ And thank you Momcozy community!

I remember driving myself crazy googling milestones in those first few months. 😅 Asking for help really is a superpower, not a weakness. Thank you for this beautiful reminder to take a deep breath and just enjoy the ride. 🫶

Yes! It really does steal the joy out of things when we compare. I was in a due date group for my 4th baby and seeing most the baby’s his milestones that my baby didn’t made me think I was failing. I had to realize every baby grows at their own pace

Yes. They all do things at their own time. It’s hard not to compare at times but each child goes at their own pace
