text: In a perfect world a mother would always know what to do and what the right choice is for her baby. But in the real world of parenting, none of us know what we are doing. Repeat after us: I am not supposed to have all the answers. You’re human, and as a mother you may be blinded by emotions and anxiety, which could make it hard to instinctually know what to do. Definitely pay attention to your gut feelings, but also be open to advice from other trusted friends and family members.
