i mentioned what i did, cos i have read so many posts over the years, when women doing, what felt right to them, was actually the opposite of what people around them expected, no-one else in their mother's groups were parenting in that style, so the mums felt alone. Not realising, that there are many people who parent like that, and it has a name. I think when we do things, in isolation, sometimes you can start to doubt yourself.

i know i got clarity when i found other mums parenting the way i felt inclined to. I had to go online to find that support, but it was there. it gave me strength to find this out.

i'm not saying this IS the issue for the OP, but it's a possibility for any mum of a bub.
