Because of her fear, she did not hold a baby until her first child was born.
Sweet Home Alabama actress Reese Witherspoon reveals that she used to fear holding babies.
According to Times of India, Witherspoon was so afraid that she would not be “a good mum” that she did not hold a baby until the birth of her first child. “I had never babysat, I didn't have any cousins, so when I first held my baby daughter Ava, it was the first time I'd ever held a baby in my life,” Witherspoon reveals about her journey of becoming a mother.
However, Witherspoon insists that her fears were well-justified and took quite some time to finally overcome. “That was nine years ago. So I understand that sort of fear of not being a good mom. It took me a long time to feel really comfortable in the role of mother,” Witherspoon admits. Now, the star has comfortably settled into the full-time job of a mother and says, “I think the most important thing is the children. What do they want, that makes them feel comfortable?”
