I'm 22 and this is my first baby. She is 5 months old and gets constipated so I have been giving her an ounce of water with a little mango juice once a week for the past month. She loves it so crazily much so I thought I would try feeding her properly. I bought Mango packets, silicone first feed spoons, a little bowl. I sterilised them all and was telling everyone how excited I was to Give my DD her first try of food. My mum asked me what I would be doing today and I said I wasn't going out as i wanted to find the perfect time to do the feed where DD wouldn't be tired etc. like it has been so clear that I have been excited about this!
So I sat down with DD today and began feeding her I gave her a spoon and she loved it! So I gave her another, she was happy. Then my mum said can I have a go and obviously I said yes. My mum got so carried away I guess, feeding her so much and actually finished off the packet. She was cooing over my DD so much and my DD was extremely happy to be fed... But I really wanted to do it. It was my first time feeding my first baby an i was excited an all I did was give her two spoons and my mum did it until it was all gone. While I watched. DD wasn't even hungry after that.
I am wrong to be upset about this and things like it? It's not the only sort of "first precious moment" type of thing that I've just sat down and watched my mum experience rather then myself. I don't know if I am being hormonal right now due to time of month but I actually wanted to cry today...
