16: From Worry to Wisdom: First Time Mum vs Fourth Time Mum

This week, we are chatting about what we do differently to each other as a first time mum (Bella) and fourth time mum (Jess). Bella opens up about how as a first time mum (FTM), it is like a rite of passage that you must go through, to experience all the FTM things in order to know what to do better or more confidently next time. Jess talks about the things she did with her first two babies that she no longer does with her fourth and some things she wishes she did differently with her girls. We came to an agreement that more seasoned mums should be willing to help out a first time mum and that FTM's should heed advice from seasoned mums, if it comes from a well-intentioned place.
