New Mum doing great job

April 8, 2009  

I went to see my friend yesterday and her newborn daughter - she is two weeks old now.

The drive over to their house took over two hours and was a bit fraught as the daughter had car sickness - she has had it before but not lately. I did have spare clothes but she was sick on these too so I had to pull over, find a clothes shop and buy her a new top and trousers.

Poor little love and quite frustrating for me as I’d put her in a lovely outfit to go over there!

My friend seems to be a natural Mum and she’s doing brilliantly. She is so laid back and the breastfeeding is going brilliantly too.

I can’t believe how calm she is actually. I was a tired wreck two weeks in - she looks totally fresh faced and says she isn’t tired at all.

I suppose it just goes to show that all babies and Mums are different!

The little girl is gorgeous and so peaceful - you forget just how tiny they are. She’s over 10lb now but she still looks really small to me. The daughter looked like a giant in comparison!

For any Mums who are struggling out there, I have a brilliant interview for you on Friday. I’m speaking to Sasha Miller, Editor at Babycentre.co.uk. She’s with us between 10-11am and 5-6pm on Good Friday with advice about everything to do with a newborn baby!
