Which is why when asked what she’s learned after four months in the trenches, she avoids speaking in absolutes.
The advice she would give to new moms is “It’s really hard, but you’re going to figure it out,” Allison insisted. “No baby is the same, no mom is the same. So as much as I wish I could give people this, like, ‘Oh, this is going to fix everything,'” there’s no one winning play.
Rather, the key, she continued, is “being patient with yourself. Because I think I had these expectations like, ‘Oh, I need to be perfect, I need to do this, I don’t want to mess her up.’ But as long as you have the best interest of your child in your heart and you’re always doing your best, it’s going to be okay.'”
