Munchkin carried out a survey, to celebrate the launch of the new Click Lock cups, on how mums & dads feel about parenthood. The international baby brand polled 2,000 UK parents and confirmed it can take them up to two years to get to grips with parenthood, with 58% of mothers fearing they would never get to grips with it. Itโ€™s not just mum worrying about herself either, with two thirds stating it takes dad a long time to adjust to their new role.

Even before the birth over half of respondents said they felt scared and just under half felt nervous about the impending arrival showing that this worry for parents starts long before baby is born.

The report showed that nearly two thirds of mums said that they didnโ€™t feel they could confide in anyone if they didnโ€™t feel it had all clicked into place with the most popular response stating that they thought it was something that everyone felt and they didnโ€™t want to make a big deal out of it. If mums did turn to someone it was more than likely their own mum, with 5% asking their mother-in-law.

Top Ten things that mums felt had to be mastered before things clicked in to place:

  1. Being in a good routine
  2. Knowing what to do when baby is crying
  3. Not worried about dealing with baby in public
  4. Not panicking when baby is poorly
  5. Leaving the house with a spare change of clothes
  6. Being able to change a nappy quickly
  7. Having baby sleeping through the night
  8. Leaving the house with milk/food and snacks
  9. Always having a toy to entertain baby with
  10. Being able to leave the house on time

But many parents admitted that their worry was a regret and that they should have enjoyed the experience more. Two thirds admitted they wished they has been more calm and relaxed and less worried.
