Mom Shaming

Believe it or not, mom shaming happens ALL. THE. TIME. And it needs to stop.

Moms feel enough pressure and guilt as it is. There’s so much we feel like we get judged on. Are my kids eating enough? Are they getting enough sleep? Is she safe enough in this car seat? Is he having a good day at school? The list is never ending… 

If you’re anything like me, my worries were multiplied when I was a new parent.

*Did you know* - 46% of babies experience some degree of head flattening??? 

Shaming a mom for her baby’s head flattening is never OK. Telling parents if they held their baby more it wouldn’t have happened is untrue and EXTREMELY harmful for new parents to hear. This is often the most vulnerable time of a person’s life and should be full of love and support! And let’s be honest, none of us really know what we’re doing. We just love our babies and do our best!

Parents - your babies are perfect no matter what.
