I met my friend elena at babies r us to go shopping for her baby due in september. Well i had packed up avas bottles etc but forgot the formula . Good thing i was in a baby store that sold her formula it was just a sad moment for me. How could i forget her formula

Don't feel bad...We are bound to forget things. And it doesn't make us a bad mom when we forget, it just makes us human..I need to remind myself as well a I always feel bad when LO is just relaxing by himself, not fussy or anything and I feel like a bad mom for not reading to him or doing something with him since he is alert.

I have to remind myself that LO does not need to be stimulated by me 24/7.

Don't feel bad mistakes happen. We went to Sea World and I forgot to put a wetbag in DS's diaper bag to put the dirty cloth diapers in through out the day "doh" Sea World has a no plastic's policy so we couldn't bring in a plastic bag and ended up putting all his dirty dipes in a paper bag....it stunk so bad! LoL

Babyruth, you are not a bad mom! These things happen to us all. Try not to be so hard on yourself. It all worked out in the end!

I struggle with this too. I always feel guilty but I really need to get passed it. It's hard though.

This bothers me as well.  I need to find a balance.

You are not a bad mom!  These things happen.  There are so many things to remember nowadays.
