I used to think our purpose was to make our babies independent but the nature of babies is to be completely dependent upon us otherwise, they would have been born able to clothe and feed themselves, put themselves to bed, walk and talk. So getting frustrated as a new mum in those early days whilst breastfeeding my newborn baby for days on end meant I was losing out on gaining the real gift of this period of my baby’s complete dependence upon me.
This period I call the ‘babymoon’ is there for to emotionally bond with your child, beyond the physical bond of blood ties between you. In holding your baby, looking deep into their eyes as you hold them and you feed them creates a deep love in your heart that will give you incredible compassion, mercy and patience with them as you go through this journey of raising your child. You gain the much needed resilience and strength to get you through the challenging times to come.
The first few months whilst your child depends upon you for everything, when you submit to their neediness, will give you everything you need for years to come. How Merciful and Generous is our Lord, that we give to our child but in return, we receive more subhan Allah.
Now if like me, you didn’t embrace the early days and are feeling that the emotional bond you have with your child has been affected, I want to tell you my sister that it is not too late. You can still create that emotional bond as long as you and your child are still alive and breathing. It is craved by your child so it’s never too late, I can help you as I help others inshaa Allah.
