Here are a few ways to be a confident mommy ^_^

• Lose the audience.

When your baby is hard to calm, find a place to work it out in private. Not only will this get your child out of a stimulating environment, but it will also protect you from unsolicited advice. If relatives try to follow you, go into the bathroom and shut the door. (Even the nosiest know-it-all won’t follow you there!) Then turn on the fan—the white noise may do the trick. 

• Be decisive.

Tune into your gut feelings to make decisions quickly and confidently. Start small (regular or lavender baby wash?) and work up. Quickly “try on” your decision before finalizing. See how you feel,relieved or rubbed the wrong way and listen to yourself. Once you choose, move on without second-guessing. “Keep reminding yourself: I’m top expert here.”

• Don’t hide your emotions.

It’s understandable to lose your calm after your baby has been on a crying jag for three hours or your toddler is throwing a tantrum. The surprise is, sometimes it’s good for your baby to see you upset, as long as it’s justified and doesn’t happen too often. As she grows, your child will look to you to learn how to handle emotions. When she sees you sad, scared, mad or frustrated, say what you’re thinking“I was feeling sad, but I feel better now” or “That was scary. I’m glad we’re safe.”Child are usually going to run that ‘mommy tape’ in her head the rest of her life whenever she’s feeling emotional. So mommies should play their emotions too.

•  Beware of competitive friends.

Not even your mother-in-law can make you doubt yourself as much as that friend whose child does everything first. Your friend’s daughter might have walk when yours are still not crawling. The competitive friend is always doling out advice on how to get your baby to catch up and pointing out what you’re doing wrong. The best response? “We’re happy with Sam’s development.”
