“babies raising babies.”
“one thing i won’t be is 40 and dropping my kid off at kindergarten.”

i hear things like this and it makes my stomach turn.
i can’t stand when i see people judge moms for when they had kids, whether it’s 18 or 35.

when people have babies young, they need more support than ever. not shame, not side eyes, not assumptions.
when people have kids later, you never know why they waited. maybe they chose to, maybe they didn’t. maybe it was heartbreak, healing, infertility, or life not going as planned.

every journey is different and none of them are easy.
we don’t need opinions. we need support, grace, and room to grow.

motherhood isn’t about when you start, it’s about how deeply you love through it all.

I was a “baby raising a baby” and she turned out amazing, successful and kind 11 years later 💖

When my clients have supportive partners 🙌🏽 I love to see it 🩷

What this looks like:

📍Taking turns helping with baby at night even when they return to work

📍Words of encouragement & appreciation

📍Giving mom time to take uninterrupted shower (without baby)

📍Open to requesting more time with postpartum doula so that mom has the additional support she needs

📍Prioritizing moms mental health

📍Cleaning & Cooking

📍Taking care of older siblings

people call it “mom brain” like it’s some kind of flaw
like we’re scattered, unfocused, slipping

but they don’t see all the tabs we keep open

i knew the pediatrician appointment was next week and that the allergy meds were running low

i knew we were out of their favorite snack and that they’d only drink from the blue cup today

i knew which blanket they’d ask for at bedtime which song calms them which stuffie has to be tucked under their arm

i knew what to say when the emotions got big and the words got lost

i meal prepped during nap time restocked the diapers in the next size up

i kept track of every birthday invite grocery need doctor call and meltdown trigger

this isn’t forgetfulness
this is full capacity

call it “mom brain” if you want
but just know it’s running the whole show

One of the biggest scams of modern parenting?
Thinking our babies need picture perfect nurseries, designer clothes, and a closet full of overpriced toys.
They don’t.
They need you.
They want your chest to sleep on, your voice singing off key lullabies, your eyes meeting theirs in the middle of the night.
They don’t care if their onesie was $4 from Walmart.
They don’t care if their crib is from a garage sale.
They don’t need Pinterest-worthy playrooms.
They need a safe place to fall asleep and a parent who loves them fiercely.

So if you’re a new parent drowning in “must-have” lists and Instagram pressure then listen to me:
You are the only thing they truly need.
Not the stuff.
Not the aesthetics.
You.

And you are already enough.

More than enough.

You always have been
