Baby Race

Hands up those mums who feel like everything is made into a competition. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I just feel like it's everywhere, in this group as much as out there in public. You get family or friends or even mums in baby groups giving unsolicited advice to get your baby moving or saying "haha she's so cute she just lays there like a little slug" or in this group you get "can your baby do X, mine now does this, when did they do it?" I get it, you're proud of what your baby has achieved and that should be celebrated (which I'm sure happens in your respected family units) 🙄 I just feel like it just raises anxieties when what should be reinforced is every child develops at their own pace. And if you're proud of your baby just say exactly that, "im so proud of my LO they've just done X" why need to compare to see how ahead your baby is. Bottom.line is no mum despite their multiple children is a medical expert to tell you whether your child is ahead or behind. Every child is unique and develops in their own time so let's straighten other mums crowns instead of making it a competition hey. OK, rant over, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
