Hi Amanda- I’m definitely not an expert with postpartum depression… but if you’re concerned at all about your mental health, please speak to someone: a friend, a doctor, a therapist. You can’t be the mama you want to be unless you’re healthy. <3

It’s me for the third time…again, haha. My Little girl will be 8 months old on January 1st, 2020 and i still can’t believe it. I feel like I was waiting patiently for her arrival and my work even put me on maternity leave a week before her due date. Now she somehow is going on for 8 months. It’s really crazy how fast it goes by and everyone isn’t lying about this. I get extremely emotional at how much she’s growing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a blessing in my eyes that I get to watch her grow and achieve each milestone. I, however, am starting to really miss the baby stage…like a lot and i cry about it. Would anyone consider this to be postpartum depression or baby Blues because it seems to happen each time a new month rolls around. I would like your input on this so than i can decide on whether i should talk to my doctor about this. Thank you.

Congratulations on your baby girl! Yes, time does go by fast. But my tween still loves to hug me. 🙂

Hi there,
I had my baby girl on May 1st 2019. She is now 4 months old as of Sept 1st. I feel like time is moving way to quickly for me because when she turned 3 months old, I was heading back to work after being off for 15 weeks. I honestly dont know where that last month went too. I feel like when she turned 3 months old I blinked my eye and BAM she turned 4 months and is really making me sad. Don’t get me wrong I love watching her grow and achieve all her milestones but it’s going by so fast I feel like I can’t keep up with everything or feel like I’m unable to cherish all those moments with her even though I’m with my daughter 24/7 and comes to work with me. Now I know exactly what everyone is talking about. I do hope she will continue to want hugs and cuddles throughout her teenage years…hopefully. ❤

I am a soon to be first time mom. I’m looking at ways on how to soak up every bit of time with my little one when she gets here, and learn how to slow down time because I hear the first year of a child’s life fly by in a blink of an eye. I want to cherish every moment with her before it’s too late. I came across this website and read all your beautiful comments but at same time they made me cry because I’m not ready to have her just yet just so she can grow up just like that in a blink of an eye or feel like she doesn’t need her mama anymore. 😢

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does what you do. I am a grandma raising my granddaughter from birth. My husband and I adopted her. She is 6 yrs old and still wants me to snuggle with her at bedtime till she falls asleep and we also talk about her day and even our day when spent together. She sometimes talks about when she goes to college…lol. I tell her please be a kid for as long as you can. I know these days won’t last and it bothers me a lot. I think more so now bc I lost my son, her father almost 2 yrs ago. I see a lot of him in her. She’s a spitting image of him. Anyway, I just want her to stay as young as she can bc I know one day she may not want those snuggly times.

That I’d so adorable 😍 I hope my son wants to snuggle with me before bedtime when he’s 13 too! (For now, he’s only 9months so I’m drinking these cuddles in, I cannot get enough!)

I can’t believe someone would criticise you for this. It’s so beautiful! I snuggle with my 7 year old every night to put him to sleep and I hope he will still want to at 13…it’s such a special time together.
