Don’t get me wrong, I am a pretty good mum, well I think so. I can always calm her down in a reasonable amount of time, usually I can make her laugh and I can change a nappy while covered in poo, without getting any on her.
But I still feel like I lack a certain mum confidence. Since she was born I have never been confident about my techniques and assumed everyone knew better.
During the pregnancy I had so many people, mostly health professional, doctors, OTs, nurses, take one look at me/my medical history and so they warned me that I wouldn’t be able to hold my baby, I wouldn’t be able to breast feed, she would probably need to go into care… that I think I was left convinced that I was just no good.
But she is almost four months old now, and I have breast feed her the whole time, and she very rarely leaves my arms when Daddy is at work.
Her Daddy does a lot when he is home, and my mum does a lot of washing and cleaning around the house to help out.
But right now it’s just Imogen and I and she is asleep right next to me, and after this blog I am going to clean the kitchen and make the bed. I think we are doing alright. I just wonder when will I consider myself a real mum? I’ll let you know when I do.

Well I may not be a mum but I am a very proud aunt and while I probably never expected any less I have continually been impressed by the amazing job you guys are doing and I'm so proud of you and snoods. One of the things I've always admired about you is you never let anyone tell you what you can't do and you are continually proving the naysayers wrong! You're doing a fantastic job and are definitely a REAL MUM :)
