Like Thumper 🐰 in Bambi says “If you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all” 🤫
Be mindful of the “advice” you give new moms! You might think it’s helpful but did you bother to ask if they even want it or tried to understand what they are going through?
When you have the urge to give advice that wasn’t asked for, as yourself and/or them - How can I be most helpful?
New mamas are often in a vulnerable state and sometimes even genuine, helpful advice can feel judgmental and make them feel worse.
It’s human nature to want to help when we see others struggling. It’s uncomfortable to us, but it’s not about fixing your discomfort. It’s about understanding theirs 💕
