Hello there,
I don't know if I'm posting for reassurance, or for cold hard truth (ready for your opinions )
I am a worrier, so I probably am over worrying, but there are a few things I worry about that I think might make me a bad mother, and that confuse me. I'm a first time mother of Dd 6 months.
- if dd is content playing with something and engrossed in her toys, sometimes I go and get on with something, such as making beds etc.
Is this ok? My mother says if a baby is content playing, then give them their own space and time alone, which is important. I not saying she always plays on her own whatsoever, but there are a lot of mothers on here that say they sit by their baby's side all day long, and take them everywhere with them.
Somebody on here said, ''never sneak away from a clingy baby' and I do tend to do things around the house if she isn't crying, instead of waiting by her and creating a clingy baby.
If she has a temper, and nothing I can do to sto her crying, I out her in her cot wher she is safe, until she calms down, checking her every 5 mins, and going to her and picking her up when she calms.
These are my main concerns. Apart from that, we go for a daily walk, I play with her, tickle, she's always happy, laughing smiling etc.
Go on then, judge me!!,
Lol
