Breastfed or Formula-fed,
sleep training or co-sleeping,
potty trained at two or potty trained at four,
Stay At Home Mom or Working Mom,
iPad or no iPad,
epidural or natural birth,
c-section or vaginal delivery,
made-from-scratch-organic everything or non-organic and order in at times,
crawled at six months or crawled at one year,
pro-junk food or against junk food,
portraying a perfect life on Instagram or embracing your mess,
Holding the baby “too much” or “too little,”
pacifier or no pacifier,
all our kids will struggle with something,
whether it’s their mental health,
making friends,
learning,
or a tough diagnosis
to name a few,
and none of them will be perfect despite all the made-from-scratch food and breast milk we get into their growing bodies.
So, let’s raise each other up.
If you hear another mom being shamed, defend her.
Own 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 choices, and respect 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴.
