Sharing this from The Lullaby Trust because your feelings in Motherhood matter and so does knowing you aren’t doing anything wrong and neither is your baby 👶

It is too easy to compare other babies to your own baby, and wonder what you’re doing wrong. But when it comes to your baby’s sleep, there is no ‘normal’.

Most babies wake often during the night in their first few months and throughout the first year. In fact, around a third of babies will have never slept all night by 12 months.

But this doesn’t make the reality of living with sleep deprivation any easier. Even though you were probably expecting some sleepless nights, the reality might be harder than you imagined.

The average age at which women have children has been increasing since the middle of the 1970s.

But the average age of women at first birth today (29.6) is not very different to what it was in 1938 (29.0).

However in the 1940s around 75% of births to women over 40 were to mothers who already had at least two children. In 2010, by contrast, 61% of births to women in their forties were first or second children.

I had my first 33 when I had my first and 37 when I had my second. Just out of interest and just for fun what age were you when you had your first baby? 👶
