This was inspired by a fellow blogger from “Airing my laundry“; she got the idea from Glamour magazine. Being a mummy blogger it is only appropriate to make my list relating to motherhood, things that we should all be okay with and not feel guilty about.
Hey, it’s okay …
… To formula feed your baby with all the pressures to breastfeed.
… To not remember the last time you went to get a mani-pedi or even the last time you applied nail polish.
… To have some of your pre-baby outfits in your closet that you know you might not wear again.
… To freak out & be worried when your baby has a bad fall or becomes sick.
… To still have a few extra pounds left of your baby weight, not everyone snaps back like celebrities.
… To use a pacifier or rock your baby to sleep… anything to calm your baby.
… To post photos of your baby all over social media.
… To be a working mother or a stay at home mum, there is nothing wrong with having your own dreams and aspirations
… To take a nap in the afternoon, motherhood can be exhausting at times and sometimes you need to refuel to keep up with your active toddler.
… To ask for help and advice when you need it; it’s okay to seeking professional help if you are struggling with motherhood.

This fab! So wish I had seen this 3years ago lol. One other thing it’s ok to do is… to arrange a night or day (whichever is easier) to yourself to do what you want to do – shopping, drinking, hanging out in a spa. You became a mum don’t loose yourself x

couldn’t agree more, you should have a day to yourself and do things you once enjoyed before becoming mum… go to the movies or a girls night out.

I can relate to a lot of these! It’s okay to be in your PJs and not shower until the evening (or at all, especially in the early days) – some days are just like that! #Blogstravaganza

You’re right those first few days are extremely hectic, you barely remember to eat let alone have a shower and change.

It’s ok to neglect your hair 😩 Shampoo and condition is as far as I get these days. I miss having silky bouncy blow dried hair lol x

hahaha same here, sometimes I even contemplate cutting it because it requires so much effort and time especially that my hair is so curly.

Hey, I post tons of pictures of my kids. I totally get it 😉
And I always say “fed is best!” So long as your baby is eating, who cares what it is? Some people can’t breastfeed.
I love my naps!

Exactly everyone is different and that’s why we shouldn’t never judge working mums or stay at home mums. they should be ok with their choices and not feel guilty.

Its ok to put your baby (safely) in their cot and let them cry for 5 minutes while you take a (literal) deep breath….. Something I need to learn and allow myself to do. Motherhood can be so overwhelming some days
