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…

dont be too stressed abt it! during confinement, rest as much as u can. i was like u last time, when the CN keep carrying and able to soothe baby while i just watch and unable to do anyth. so my hubs ans i took the initiative to ask CN to let us take care of baby one night (then 1 week before she leave), also ask her the know how (which she didnt give but observe how she does it).. slowly but surely baby know who the caregiver is and is more assured w mommy and daddy. what CN said was true, since she came, she has been taking care hence baby familiarise with CN 'smell'. but it wont be long that baby will detach and attach to you. also abt milk, ur body will produce what baby needs, so watery or thick, its baby's choice. we cant really 'thicken' our milk per se, but our body will make the right milk for baby. jyjy!!
