🥱 Monday morning can often feel like groundhog day and the house is loud, the baby needs everything, the coffee’s gone cold, and you’re already wondering how it’s only 8am.
🕗 If you’re feeling overwhelmed, touched-out, teary, or like you’re failing before the day’s even started — we see you
I’m a mummy and a midwife, and I promise you this: nothing about this feeling means you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re human, caring deeply, and carrying a lot.
No day is ever a 10/10... I always say in class I'd take a 7/10 day most days!
Babies sadly don’t come with off-switches. How mega would that be, and sometimes it takes us ages to work out that they even want.
As mums we don’t get weekends off from our nervous systems.
Some Mondays are just about getting through, not getting things done.
So take a breath. Lower the bar. Feed your baby. Watch a box set. Order the shopping online. Feed yourself if you can. The rest can wait.
✨ You are not alone
✨ This festive season is heavy, but you are amazing and will get through
✨ One hour, one feed, one cuddle at a time is enough
