Mam guilt

I feel so bad and guilty and a really rubbish Mam today, I get bad visual migraines and lately they’ve started up again I’m almost certain it’s from lack of sleep etc.

Anyway, I woke up with another migraine today and felt so ill, my bf was at work all morning and didn’t get back until late dinner time and I just couldn’t bring myself to give much attention to my baby at all and I feel awful about it, I basically just sat him in front of the tv all morning with cocomelon on (he’s only 6 months but loves the tv) and just kept nursing him into naps so I could get some sleep. But cause I felt nausea, head banding etc Ive just hardly spoke any words to him for half the day I just feel like it’s so bad of me … I finally feel better but the day has just gone now and at six months to have gone with such little attention all day and all that television makes me feel so awful as his mam 💔

We all have these days and he will be absolutely fine. At 6 months all he wants is to be near to you and that's what he had.

When I was pregnant with my second child I was so unwell and had a toddler. We spent hours in my bed snuggled up while she watched. Charlie and Lola on the iPad. It wasn't idea but she was safe and cared for which is the most important thing.
