You've got this!



Feeling tired, emotional, irritable.
Missing Sleep. Feeding around the clock (however you're feeding).
Anxiety, am I doing this right? Should my baby be doing this by now? Routine, What Routine?
Weaning
Loneliness, even though you're never on your own.
 
Being a parent is amazing and so rewarding BUT it's also hard work.
We at Ottie’s know it's not all rainbows and sleepy cuddles, being a parent in today’s world can be tough. Whatever your worry or anxiety, there is always someone or something there for you. Whether you need advice, an ear to listen, reassurance, a coffee or a good catch up.
