Reading this was a breath of fresh air. I felt as if I was failing by not getting a nanny in those early days and “having to” stay home from a few weddings and celebrations.

I felt guilty for missing out, but also, in a way, instinctively chose not to compromise on the level of closeness I wanted with my baby.

I wish I could explain it all to myself exactly a year ago and spare myself some self-inflicted headache!!
