Thank you 🙏 she slept from 7:20 (again!) to 6am straight no wake ups! You truly are The Magic Sleep Fairy 🧚‍♀️ xxx This message came from the parents of a gorgeous baby girl I visited last week.

 Are you spending  a lot of your time as a parent feeling guilty about something? If so you are not alone and it will last for years and years!!. It could be others who make you feel guilty, but a lot of the time it will be the pressure that you are putting on yourself.
