You Do You and Mother how YOU want to

YOU DO YOU*⠀
.⠀⠀
That’s my mantra when it comes to motherhood.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
It’s so easy to be influenced by people around you/Instagram/friends/Nct groups/ads on tv, but when it comes to motherhood I strongly believe that every mother should do it THEIR way⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Sure, the lady next to you on the park bench is breastfeeding...it doesn’t mean you have to.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Your best friend co-sleeps with her little one - it doesn’t mean you have to.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Your sister hired a sleep trainer when her baby was 8 weeks - that doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for you.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
Your mother frowns at the fact your baby has a dummy - that doesn’t mean you need to remove it.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
The woman at your antenatal class is having a water birth - that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be proud of your choice in having a c section.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
However you choose to mother/give birth/be pregnant is UP TO YOU.⠀⠀
.⠀⠀
So be proud of your choice and March to the tune of your own drum. I promise you’ll be happier as a result. YOU. DO. YOU .
