What the Hell am I supposed to do with this baby??

Jun 19, 2022

So I saw this meme…

I saw this and I literally couldn’t stop laughing. I posted it to my Instagram story and what was not as funny is how many moms could relate. It’s scary how little information parents are given about caring for their infant both physically and developmentally. I was actually shocked at how little information I received not only from the hospital but from my son’s pediatrician as well. It’s not fair to new parents nor is it fair to young children for parents not have this critical information. What a disservice to both parties for information to only be discovered after developmental delays (both cognitive and physical). I wholeheartedly believe that so many delays could be prevented,corrected, or properly supported if parents where just GIVEN the information. Information on how to support your child’s development shouldn’t be something you have to go out of your way to figure out and access on your own and parents shouldn’t be im positions where they feel like they failed their child because they didn’t know better. There NEEDS to be better systems in place we owe it children. That’s why I do the work I do. If you’re a parent PLEASE take some time and watch this Ted Talk. And remember if you find yourself thinking “what the hell am I supposed to do with this baby??” It doesn’t make you a bad parent
