It’s late…and I’m sitting here with my trusty laptop thinking about all those times when I should’ve just trusted my own instinct!! You know that ‘gut’ feeling we always talk about – Mamma’s Instinct – trust it! If something just doesn’t seem right, maybe it isn’t. We read too much! If it’s not done or happens as the ‘book’ says it should, it couldn’t be right…right? Wrong! It’s written by the expert, so it must be true…Not! It’s great to have these references merely as a guideline and nothing but a guideline. Every child is unique and develops at different rates, that’s what makes the world go ’round! I think it would be a very, very boring place if we were all exactly the same….
That’s why I think it’s such a great idea to sit down and actually chat with other mammas, get to hear all their different experiences, see what worked for them and what didn’t. Whose baby ‘cut’ a tooth by three months and whose baby ‘cut’ that same tooth at six months! Who walked early and who didn’t.
It’s all about what works for YOU!
