✨ Key Messages
You are not alone in your journey
Every parent has doubts—it’s part of the process
Small steps make a big difference. Trust your gut, you can’t go wrong.
Asking for support is a strength, not a weakness : Asking is the key word there, don’t mind the white noise of UNSOLICITED ADVICE (social media, lady at the till, mother in law and other injunctions)
