It's okay to feel like you are failing as a mom. Mothers may feel like they have failed their child because she fails to live up the society's expectations of her. The first step in overcoming the feeling of failure as a parent is to define your values and what you expect of yourself and your family. Then, you can determine what it is that your child needs from you.

You did not do anything wrong
The phrase "you didn't do anything wrong as a mom" is often associated with guilt and shame. It reinforces a culture’s expectations of parenting well and the Biblical Commandment that you love your children regardless of their circumstances. Even in healthy families, favoritism can be a common problem. It is a psychological condition called Parental Differential Treatment (PDT) which affects the children and spouses in a number of ways. It can be related a mother's "fit", comfort, or her child's desires and needs.
You are not a failing mother
While feeling like a mother who is failing can be natural, it doesn’t need to make you feel that. If you're feeling a sense of failure, change your behavior. Instead of dwelling on what you feel, be positive about your achievements. You don't have to be a failure mother. You can learn from your feelings. If you are able to recognize your feelings, you can change how your parenting is done.

What can I do for a newborn every day?
A baby isn't just a little bundle of joy. It requires constant attention and feeding. It is essential to be able to feed your baby correctly.
They must also be protected from danger. This includes protecting them from falling objects and dangerous situations such as fire.
When you hold a baby, you must be aware of its needs. Babies have different sleeping habits than adults. It is important to be able to change diapers as well as clean up after babies.
You may want to consider hiring someone to help out with the housework while you take care of the baby. That way, you can spend more time bonding with your child.
You also need to prepare yourself physically. Most of the time, you will be tired. But it's important to rest so you can continue caring for your baby.
Sometimes it's okay not to control everything. Remember to pick yourself back up quickly. Otherwise, you might hurt the baby.
Remember that babies are not always hungry when they cry. Sometimes babies cry out because they are scared, lonely, or uneasy.
So you need to pay attention to what makes them happy. If they seem upset, talk to them.
If they don’t respond, comfort them.
Try to provide a stable environment for your baby. Keep clutter out of their lives. Take care of dirty toys and clothes.
And don't leave food lying around.
Bear in mind that babies are extremely sensitive to the smells and sounds around them. Try to avoid loud noises.
Keep your voice low. Gentle touches are best when you interact with your infant.
Singing to baby can encourage you.
However, don't shout too loud. Your baby will still hear you at night.
Bright colors will appeal to babies. So you can use brightly colored blankets and sheets.

Is gentle parenting good?
It all depends on what you mean when you say "good." If you want to talk about the way children are treated, then yes. However, if asked whether they are happy with the treatment, I would have to say no. They require discipline and firmness from time to time. They won't learn how to behave well if they don't.
Children need to know their limits and have rules. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They will not be able to respect others or follow instructions.
If you want to know which parenting style I favor, it would be none. Each of these styles is equally effective. The important thing is to choose the one that best suits you and your family.
