Last week I was curled up on the couch, Estelle asleep on my chest, her little head tucked right under my chin. And as the house quieted, those familiar voices crept in again..."she’s too attached, you’re spoiling her, she needs to learn to sleep alone." But something in my body softened as I held her close. I knew it then: I’m not doing it wrong, I’m doing what’s right for us.If you’ve ever second guessed your instincts because of what someone else said about how you should parent, this one’s for you.In this episode of Ask Me How I’m Really Doing, I talk about postpartum identity, attachment parenting, and how embracing imperfection has helped me reconnect with myself and trust my gut as a mom.
