Tracking Milestones is a Mother

Is A Mother

Tracking milestones can be a Mother. And as time starts to feel like it’s going by quicker and quicker, we can forget many of the things we have gone through to get to where we are. Reflecting on our milestones, as women and as parents, is a way to reminisce on the good and celebrate how we overcame challenges, big, small, and everything in between.
In episode 14 of ___ Is a Mother, we discuss parent and child milestones, reflecting on how far we and our little ones have come. And don’t get it twisted – celebrating milestones is important for everyone, not just parents! Some of the talking points we go over in this episode include:

• Reflecting on our parenting milestones and celebrating our growth as mothers.
• Trusting your instincts when it comes to developmental milestones in children.
• Comparing and contrasting our experiences with breastfeeding, sleep training, sickness, and balancing work and family.
• Finding balance between sticking to your self-made “rules” as a parent and savoring in the sweet moments while your child is still little.
