Mums Share Their Best Advice for Duchess Meghan Before Baby Sussex Arrives

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Royal Baby will be here any day now (if it’s not already!) and our mums have some wise words to share to the first timers.

Aside from the usual pressures of becoming a new mother, Meghan will be facing the challenge of trying to keep her baby out of the media as much as possible.

Michelle Obama had some great advice to share.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, Michelle said: “Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot.

“So my biggest pieces of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything.

“I spent the first few months in the White House mainly worrying about my daughters, making sure they were off to a good start at school and making new friends before I launched into any more ambitious work.

“I think it’s okay – it’s good, even – to do that.

“What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that – and I think Meghan can maximise her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally.”

MoM’s share their best advice

Our ever helpful audience had their own great advice to share for the Prince and Duchess of Sussex including:

“Fake it til you make it!”

“Don’t listen to any “advice”…..”

“Enjoy it! There’s no rule book. You figure it out as you go.”

“Only listen to advice that you ask for.”

“No matter what you do people are always going to judge you. So just do your best to parent your child how you see fit.”

“Enjoy every precious moment with your child as they grow up fast!”

“Listen to your gut.”

Love Michelle Obama’s advice. Makes a lot of sense in their situation

I imagine Harry to be more protective because of how his mother died. It’s so confronting. So I don’t think he feels “the royals” owe the public so much from them.
It’s really people, paparazzi that owe them their requests for privacy, all of probably two days.
Before photos and views.
Enjoy the journey.

It is amazing how fast the baby days are over and even childhood passes extremely quickly. Enjoy things while you can.

Just slow down enjoy the ride and do not let anyone get the better of you. Your child is only young once and you really need to enjoy this time.

The only thing I tell my friends is to listen to what others tell you, nod and smile and do it the way you planned,advice is given to offer choices not to dictate

Be true to the vision you have for raising your child and don’t forget the most powerful word when dealing with the Royal family NO!

I am sure Meghan and Harry have had experience with other peoples’ babies to some extent.
No 2 babies are the same. They respond to different types of care.

Michelle Obama is so sensible. I’d say practice nodding, smiling, and completely ignoring unwanted advice.

So much advice. My advice is no advice. Let them sort it out themselves and give them space.

The video is so cute.
The only advice I would give to any parents is to love their baby and show it every single day. 🙂

As if she would need any advice! Her mum has moved in and she’ll have round the clock nannies and nurses. It’s not like she’ll be sleep deprived or have to worry about returning to work asap to pay the bills.
