Poornitha Instagram – As a new mom, I’ve been receiving a lot of things from people – gifts for me, gifts for the little one, being showered with a lot of love from my loved ones, strangers on the street telling me how cute my baby is everytime we go for a walk.. the thing I’ve received the most though is unsolicited advice 😁 So many pointers, what to do, what not to do.. from so many people! Some whom I know, many whom I have never met. Don’t get me wrong. I understand that all this comes from a place of good intention, but each baby is different and when you become a mother, something I’m experiencing is that you develop this intuition to handle your baby, to care for your little one. Considering you spend every moment with your baby, you know how to soothe them, you learn slowly as to what troubles them, you start knowing their every gesture and with the slightest expression you’ll know what they need. Even in all of this, there is this constant self doubt if you’re ever going to be a good enough mother for your little one. All this unsolicited advice makes that situation worse! Atleast for me.. new mothers need help. No doubt about it but I think the best thing that anyone who wants to help is wait around to be asked for help first.. It’s not easy to be a mom, there are so many changes internally and externally and suddenly you have to take care of this little human who is completely dependent on you. So here’s my advice (😁) to all those people who give unsolicited advice to new moms.. all mothers are trying to be the best versions of themselves for their baby, they’re all trying to be the best mom in the world.. so stand by them, support them and tell them that they’re doing a good job first :) small things like that go a long long way. Make them feel good. That’s all the strength and help they need :)#kalyaniunfiltered #newmom #vsco #vscocam Birmingham, United Kingdom
