I can't stop googling

[s2391r]

Hello,

I'm a new mum to a 2 month old but I have a problem, I can't stop googling everything about his development. The anxiety begun when I was pregnant about every problem that could happen while pregnant, I assumed it would stop when he was born, as he was born healthy and happy. But it's only got worse, I will go on YouTube and find videos of what babies should be doing by his age, I will google things like hand movements on a baby, early signs of autism, eye interaction on a baby and so much more, then compare it to my son. I just want stop feeling like this and enjoy my son growing up but I don't know how to. I'm seeking to see if this normal as a new mum and what can I do to stop?

Honestly the only thing you can do is remember that all children develop differently.

A girl I went to school with had a baby two weeks after I had DD. She posted a video of her little boy rolling over. I got upset because DD can't roll yet and I don't want her to be a late developer (pathetic I know!). The next day DD started sitting up she can't roll but she can sit up and I am so so proud.

He will do things every day that will amaze you, and as long as he's happy, who cares if he crawls two weeks later than another baby, or doesn't nap as well, or doesn't say his first word til he's one.
They're amazing little beings and he'll make you proud constantly. Be excited about what he does do, rather than what he 'should' do.

Could be post-partum anxiety. Have you been in contact with HV/GP to discuss things?
