Parenthood – often the most eagerly anticipated journey, yet the most misunderstood.
Parenthood is the most rewarding experience ever yet it’s an experience for which you have no training or competency test to know if you are ready.
It may explain the reason why family and friends we feel the need to get involved, sharing excessive amounts of ‘tried and tested tricks‘ which are often not based on any evidence or latest guidance.
Without a doubt, love and support from close family and friends is essential after having a baby, but the conflicting advice and personal opinions can sometimes make mothers and parents feel confused and overwhelmed, especially during the early days at home.
