Needed to rant

Needed to rant cause I know im being childish… I am actually jealous of my mum… My mum is helping me with confinement… so whenever baby cries, she will carry him… so much so that, when my baby is not comfortable and is crying in the middle of the night… i try my best to soothe him but he still crying and screaming, my mum will signal me and I handover baby to her.. and baby in her arms will stop crying. This happened so many times that I feel useless as a mum.. n also coz my breast milk is not thick, my mum will always jokingly say my milk so watery baby always hungry… always need to top up with Formula milk… I know she say as a fact, but it always made me feel like I’m a bad mum who can’t feed her baby…

Oh Dear.. please don't feel this way 😪😢 First, Stress won't help 😫 try to calm yourself, soothe ur feelings and positive thinking while breastfeeding. I notice it affects the quality and quantity of milk we produce,.when Angry or frustrated, relax first before you latch. When feeling better then do it, and talk to your baby also while bfeeding. it builds the bond and makes them feel comfortable be happy ur mom is around still, I wish mine still too 😢. for milk, eat foods that will make ur milk thicker ie. avocado, dates, milk, oats, soups , massage? it'll help a loooot. I didn't do this with my first born, now my second one experiencing all what I mentioned and I can see the difference ,plus 6 days no formula pure breastmilk now is such a sweet feeling, Alhamdullilah. may Allah help u and make your bfeeding journey easy as well.. stay strong and smile. 🥹
