I was wrong

Right so I need to rectify something in said in my first post, that my daughters cry doesn’t bother me…

I can only assume that my daughter read my blog, and decided to kick it up a notch - on the one had I’m super proud my 11 day old can read, she’s a bloody genius! On the other she has developed a new cry that cuts to the core of my being, it’s a cry the somehow picks at all my insecurities and every instinct I possess tells me I’m doing something wrong or my wonderful child thinks I’m a bad father.

Unfortunately this is feeling gets exasperated by her instantly being settled in her mother’s arms, and yes by arms I mean boobs!

Now I get it, boobs are great, and logically I know I’m doing it all right, she’s full, slept, changed, dry, comfy, but sometimes being on or near my wife’s breast is the only place she can settle - it’s a feeling I know well and can fully empathise with my girl.

The thing I’m struggling with is the feeling that I should be or could be doing more. My wife is incredible and is constantly reassuring me that I’m a great dad, I’m likely just over thinking while being balls to wall tired, but I thought I’d share it here in case anyone else felt they were falling short of the early doors parental mark, when all evidence says we’re bloody bossing it.

Sod it, I’m ignoring my inner doubt - We’re bossing it!!
