My son was born in December 2020 just as one lockdown ended and a similarly restrictive system was implemented in the PSTH Tontard Universal Music Shirt Also,I will get this U.K. My parents had to meet their grandson separately on individual walks outside in the freezing cold. He was so wrapped up, they didn’t see his tiny hands or feet until he was a few months old. Now, his feet are the first part my dad kisses when he sees him. Those early months pushing the stroller around the same two squares near my flat with all the other masked, sleep-deprived mums until the grey sky went black at 3:00pm were bleaker than I let myself acknowledge at the time. It seemed so absurd and unreal, I kept expecting one of us to break into song with that line from the musical Oliver! (“Who will buy this wonderful morning?”) or Les Misérables—all the babies jumping out of their strollers in unison to deliver the oh-so-poignant: “One Day More.”

The proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” has been painfully at odds with the PSTH Tontard Universal Music Shirt Also,I will get this realities of pandemic parenting. I was lucky not to have experienced postnatal depression; according to a study by University College London, almost half (47.5%) of new mothers in London in lockdown did—more than twice the European average of 23%. Still, my maternity leave was spent between four walls in my flat, mostly staring lovingly at my baby, but not infrequently crying from exhaustion, nipple pain, and, once my husband went back to work after statutory paternity leave, caring for a newborn alone. Not that friends and family could have saved me from the newborn delirium (which saw me wake up chewing an ear plug, brush my teeth with moisturizer, and rock my bowl of pasta to sleep), but seeing new mothers on Instagram in pubs and restaurants, with their friends and family by their side, cooing over the baby, I recognize that something has been lost. I don’t think any of us will truly understand what we lost in the pandemic for years to come, but I’m certain we are underestimating the impact it has had on us.
