It turned out that she was very confident until day 10 when the midwife usually signs off and then she was as terrified as any other newbie. So you are not definitely not alone as you find your way through the maze of new experiences. I think that you have done an amazing job and I heart that cute little bundle. Looking forward to sandy summer toes.alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152505998250395361.post-81231006899976766002017-03-28T00:53:41.690+01:002017-03-28T00:53:41.690+01:00So fantastic of you to put this out there.

We all move around such a lot now that family support often is just not there.<br />I work with new mums supporting those who just need a helping hand. Most help is for the baby but I'm there for the mum. Just to listen, make a cup of tea, help her to get out of the house even if only for a walk around the block. I'm there to empower her as a new mum, normalise what is happening and provide tissues if she just wants a good cry. I always try to tell any new mums I see out alone that they are doing a great job, its a hard gig! You are marvellous.Jam Sandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728078414338270882noreply@blogger.com
