What were we thinking! promote confidence and reduce distress in parents with a first baby

One small reward

One small reward

My shopping trips have become well timed to make them successful. We head off just after Sam wakes up from a sleep so I can get my shopping done, feed him in a parent’s room and then get a coffee before heading home. It has worked most times but today Sam would not settle after his feed and I really wanted to sit down and have a coffee….my one small reward. I stayed in the parent’s room with a crying baby who would not feed or settle. 30 minutes later I walked out with a red faced Sam, sucking on his fists, dribble everywhere and feeling exhausted. My coffee didn’t taste so good today.
