I am a Stay at Home Mum and I suffer from Baby Brain.  Since I have given birth my mind is totally gone – I’d love to find it again, but alas Baby Brain is in the way of me finding it!  I would of thought that seeing it’s been over three years now since I last gave birth, that my mind would return….. it hasn’t.

I love to blame my forgetfulness on Baby Brain ‘Sorry honey, I didn’t pick up the paper this morning, Baby Brain!’ – Baby Daddy just nods and edges away as fast as he can!

I have an official theory for baby brain – of course no credentials to back it up, pfft, who needs credentials, I gave birth, twice in a year no less!.  Oh where was I , oh yes my theory.  When you have a baby you have soooo much to remember, feedings, clothing, house work, pay the bills, cook dinner, get everything done… that surely our brain is working overtime.  And seeing our brain is working overtime, surely something must ‘fall out’.

The ‘experts’ blame this temporary memory lapse on sleep deprivation and hormones.  I laugh at that statement.  Temporary – who are they kidding!

Do you think you suffer from Baby Brain? What do YOU think causes it???

    I am currently pregnant and already mum to a 3 1/2 year old. I absolutely have 'baby brain' but I think the real baby brain happens during pregnancy and breast feeding. Once those phases are over, I think the forgetfulness comes with having to do the same repetitive tasks over and over without many new ideas, activities or chances to learn extra skills thrown in. When we are working, dependent on what you do of course, we are regularly having to face new situations, but with parenting, things become quickly very 'same-y' and that messes with your brain I'm sure of it. As a pregnant woman once more though, I can absolute verfiy that baby brain does exist. Twice in one day I wandered through my apartment looking for my phone only to realise it was in my hand! TWICE IN ONE DAY! That is not sanity ha ha.

    I completely agree. I realised, once, after folding all the washing, that I paired every pair of socks as odd, except one (must have been a fluke). My eyes were watching the kids, my brain was preparing what we were going to have for dinner, my ears were listening to The Circle and I'm pretty sure I could smell something... unpleasant. Multi-tasking is not our friend- I contribute "baby brain" to multi-tasking- the extreme sport for mothers.
