Mum guilt and getting out

Is anyone else struggling with getting out and about? I worry that I don't get out enough with baby. We don't attend many classes mostly because I'm quite anxious about feeding and nap times. Am I a bad mum for not giving my baby enough stimulation? Anyone else feel the same?

i felt like that for a while, struggled with PDD and felt so guilty that most days my baby saw the same 4 walls, over the past few weeks i’ve forced myself to get out at least once a day even if it’s just a walk to the shop, booked swimming and a few classes starting in a few weeks, i’m also quite a shy person so feeling anxious but it’s what’s best for my baby xx you’re 100% not a bad mum though theres plenty that you can do to keep your baby stimulated indoors, i tend to read to my baby and make sure we play with toys whenever she’s not feeding/napping xx don’t put to much stress on yourself, even if you sit out in the garden for half an hour now it’s sunny and just get baby some fresh air xx

Thank you, needed to hear that ❤️

I felt as though I wrote this myself; struggling with this too xx
