You may be frustrated by comparisons to your child’s siblings
If your child has older siblings, the comparisons are inevitable. Some moms report finding them frustrating, but as long as they don’t become unhealthy or appear as though they will begin to breed competition between the children, it’s best to just take it all in stride. People mean well and at the end of the day, everyone knows that your baby is an individual person and not a clone of their older sibling. This too shall pass.
