If you could tell new mother's one thing, what would you say?
It's okay to not take advice. As a new mother, well as a mother period, people will ALWAYS offer up advice, often times unrequested. Sometimes as a new mom I found it hard to listen to my gut while all this advice was being hurled at me from every direction. Luckily I've got a strong willed man who helped me finally find my strength to be appreciative of the advice but still to do what I felt was best and not question my gut. No body can be a better mother to your baby than you! No one! Every baby is different and yes sometimes you may need the advice but if you aren't needing it or if the advice just doesn't feel right, then just don't take it. Listen to your instincts and always do only what you feel is right for your baby! 💗
