Mom at 20's

Considering that most of my friends are mommies or having babies or planning to have baby, i thought maybe this is about time to write about our obsessions on our babies.

Be it in Facebook or blogs, mommies are talking mostly about their babies. The thing is, our babies mean the world to us. Knowing the fact that we were almost dying in pain for delivering them. Photos updated are mostly about the baby. Conversations are about the baby, baby stuffs, toys, what kind of formula (please breastfeed your baby if you can), what kind of diaper, what food do you give your baby etc.

I was reading this blog last night. A blog written by a young mom about her baby's progress. She was saying that most mothers are so obsessed with their babies up to the extent that they start to compare their development. I too have experienced this. There's one time that i talked to a friend who has a newborn baby as well, was telling her that my daughter can lift her head at 2wks old. She then said the same thing. Then , comparing baby's weight. This part, my little Milan is way to light. Well, she is not the Michelin cuddly type of baby. She's too active to preserve her 'baby fat'. At least she is healthy, and happy.

To the new mommy, be prepared to hear such comments like, my baby didn't cry during her monthly immunization, my baby sleeps through the night, my baby likes to drink milk, my baby weighs more than yours though yours is older etc. Anyways, it is your baby. Maybe, you are just proud to have her. Well, the next time you wanna compare, don't get too excited.
