This thread has brought back memories
These sort of things scared the living daylights out of me with ds1
So now sat safely with two little reprebates at nearly three and six here is what I learnt
They will not spontaneously combust if you nip for a wee (although the thought will cross your mind ...the wonders of newborn stage hormones)
Nor will a brief gust of wind manage to cause a chain effect in the room leading to sudden doom for the newborn
They will not suffer irreparable attachment damage if left for the period of time it takes for a quick wee and wash your hands
Changing your clothes and having half a cup of coffee will save your sanity...there is no shame in putting them in front of shiny stuff to keep their attention whilst you achieve this
There will be 5483796 people who will claim catastrophic consequences ranging from imminent nuclear war to your child morphing instantly into the tiniest serial killer on earth if you look away for a split second or do not baby wear at every moment of the day
There will also be 593739 people who will claim normal worrying and natural concern for the most precious thing in your life will in fact cause neuroses the like of which even Freud would have balked at...and in fact said newborn should be climbing Kilimanjaro by week 2
So my considered advice is this
Use your common sense
Develop an internal tune you can play in your head during the unwanted advice ( best combined with a beatific and glazed smile that suggests your listening )
Please don't stress..you will be fine use your sense , accept your a bit nuts at first because we all are and do what works for you
(Of course my two just had a 20 minute row about whose mother I am ? Spoiler...im both their mothers which they know full well....so take from that what you will
)
