I had my first child in the UK, so this is who I read. She lied through her teeth and told me (and millions of readers) that my baby would sleep through the night after three months! Way to go, Miriam. <br />Thanks for dropping by!Sandrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229404784641370601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-76415401333878281012010-07-17T23:41:08.207+03:002010-07-17T23:41:08.207+03:00Love this post.

I read a book in pregnancy by Miriam Stoppard (a British baby guru) which included the line - "mother love is instinctual - just like hormones!". Yup. That's the badger.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697458864156792015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-24014346478489163382010-03-31T17:12:42.330+03:002010-03-31T17:12:42.330+03:00Thanks for you comment Lee! I think as a possibly ...Thanks for you comment Lee! I think as a possibly future mother you need to know this: your brain will melt entirely independently of how you feel about your baby. It's called 'leaky brain syndrome' and it doesn't ever come back (a bit like what happens to your body actually). Still, you can hide it after a while. And it's better if you have a partner handy to do the nights, so you don't go completely crazy.Sandrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229404784641370601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563136033538910586.post-67042033932938229652010-03-31T14:36:00.254+03:002010-03-31T14:36:00.254+03:00I don't have children, yet.

I am scared of this 'maternal instinct' that I have heard of, which will make my brain dissolve into a pile of mush at the sight of my newborns face, removing all capacity for rational thought. No thank you. I like being rational. I like having a life and I do not want to become a giant feeding machine. Does that make me selfish? You bet. Just like the mewling infants.Lee Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060223892472478257noreply@blogger.com
