Why do I feel judged all the time?

I get you but honestly I think establishing a solid connection with your baby, making sure their needs are met and doing what works for you all is perfect. I don't honestly believe in this 'making a rod for your own back' mentality. All children will learn the fundamentals in their own time whether we push them to do it faster for our convenience or we follow our babies signs and do it when they're happy to. Try and ignore those comments. I'm currently reading - the book you wish your parents have read. And it covers this kinda thing. It reassured me to hear it so just in case it interests you. You got this though, it's all a phase 💪🏼 xx
Honestly, motherhood can (sadly) just be like this. You learn to shut out the noise, because if you worry too much about what everyone else thinks, it drives you mad with doubting yourself. Trust your gut, you’re mum so you know your baby best, do what works well for you and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks or says about it.

You are doing everything right. Feeding to sleep is perfectly natural at this age and onwards, don't change what you're doing if it works for you both. Separation Anxiety is a normal stage they're going through, agin not something you're doing wrong. And milk continues to be their main source of nutrition until 1 years old, so keep offering small amounts of different foods but don't feel any pressure if your baby doesn't consume much, I would just make sure to keep giving milk feeds as often as usual. Anyone judging you is ignorant and not clued up, politely ignore them x
Ignore other people. You’re doing what’s best for your baby.
