Drives me crazy when people confuse gentle or co scious parenting with permissive parenting!

It’s wild how often kindness gets lost in motherhood spaces — especially online.
So many mums are quick to judge, comment, or tear down… but most of the time, it isn’t really about the person they’re criticising. It comes from a place of exhaustion, insecurity, or feeling unseen.

When we’re struggling, it’s easy to project that pain outward.
But imagine if, instead, we paused and offered compassion — both to ourselves and each other.

Motherhood is hard enough without competition or criticism.
Let’s make kindness the default. 💛

🌊 Sometimes we just crave a bit of control in the chaos. It can feel easier to do something than to simply accept that things are a bit rubbish right now. The sleepless nights, clingy days, teething, and the whirlwind of family life — they all feel huge in the moment. But they do pass.
Ride the wave, mama. You’ve got this. 🤍🌊

❤️ Somewhere between sleepless nights and endless snacks and constant pushback, we made it through the trenches (kind of 😅).

When did it start to feel easier for you? Or are you still waiting for that moment? 👀

Drop your “it gets easier when…” in the comments ⬇️

So many mums feel the grass is greener when it comes to feeding…
🍼 Bottle-feeding mums wish breastfeeding had worked out.
🤱 Breastfeeding mums dream of the freedom of bottles.

The truth? Both are hard in different ways.
Both come with guilt, exhaustion, and second-guessing yourself.
And both are acts of pure love. 💛

Breastfeeding can be incredibly demanding on your mental health — around-the-clock feeds, sore bodies, feeling touched out, and the pressure to “get it right.”
Bottle-feeding can bring its own emotional weight too — the prep, the judgement, the cost, the comparisons.

Whatever you choose (or whatever chose you), peace comes when you stop comparing and remind yourself: you’re already doing an amazing job. 🌿
