My baby is 11 weeks old and I completely put off doing her 2 month milestone photo �� she doesn’t turn officially 3 months until the 10th should I just take it now? I did take pics of her on May 10 they just aren’t set up as a her one month milestone pic. I mean technically she still is “two months old” right?! I’m a FTM and seeing all these other mamas on their A game while I slack off makes me have the worst mom guilt ever ��

mama don’t beat yourself up! Your baby is happy, fed, and clothed right?
It’s not too late to take your baby’s 2 month picture after all... 11 weeks is STILL considered 2 months right? :)

Absolutely take them now!! They’ll never be as young as they are today, right?! She’s still 2 months, and then take her 3 months in like 3 weeks, so after a year you’ll see the growth development in a college. My photos are never taken on the exact month milestone. I wait for a weekend, or my hubby to watch our other kiddos. You’re fine!!! Good luck snapping the smiles this month!!!

I forget too!! Just like when I said I’d take pregnancy progress pics every 4 weeks —- I took ONE ��
My LO’s 1 month pic was more around 1 1/2 and this 2 month one will be more like almost 3 .. it’s just a mess girl. Like a PP said, as long as it shows the growth. That’s what we’re capturing it for anyway ��

Don’t beat yourself up. It’s exhausting being a FTM.
I’ve used photos of my baby that were before or after the day of the milestone. No one knows except for you, don’t sweat it :)

I warn everyone on Instagram well see how long I keep up the monthly pictures because once I start work it will be too exhausting!
if it makes you feel good to have a picture for your collection do it now, no one is judging and everyone loves seeing pictures of the babes sob everyone will just be happy with the picture

Let that guilt go momma!! People do it all for the gram! Who cares you have a happy healthy baby that is all that matters!! Don’t feel pressure to keep up with others take pictures when u feel inclined and live in the moment not for social media feeds....you will be much happier!!

I’m on baby #3 and it didn’t dawn on me til this one I should’ve taken monthly photos with the same background, or blankey, or stuffed animal. At the end of beating myself up I think - would I feel this way if I didn’t have social media? NO! Do what you can, be yourself and be real, your baby will love any photos taken. Your baby won’t say “I wish I had monthly photos with letter boards and bla bla bla”.
You’re doing amazing!

I took milestone pictures the first couple months with my first baby and then slacked because I was going through a nasty divorce and it wasn’t a priority. I bought a frame that had a slot for a picture a month for his first year and just put in a picture from each month of his life and I LOVE it. It’s perfect. There’s no need for the staged photos, remember your baby in all of the stages through all of your pictures.
