I'm a new mommy I have lots off support but I still feel all alone I try and put a strong front but I'm so scared I'm doing something wrong and I never really could talk to someone about it bc I had to b the strong one
Any moms out there that can help out ?
lol i went thru that! hard! my mother knows my attitude so i dont have that problem with her plus she in Louisiana. but my mnl?? or my SO's grandmother? a totally different story! it got so bad she tried to keep me from taking my baby with me at four weeks and just about came to blows.
Yeah ur telling me @grahamgirls my ma thinks she knows best but she never breastfeed none of us but I swear she is going through some serious withdrawals of not having my son daily now since I fell a lot better now I have my son every day all day😀 I have less stress because he is on a routine. My " mother in law" is better at keeping him on the schedule plus she doesn't spoil him by never putting him down for nothing and does his exercises with him and everything too so if I need a babysitter I call her most of the time so I can do something for me but if it's for the morning time or during the day I'll call my ma and I have to argue with her because I want to drop him of for an hour or two and she wants to have him for the whole night to next afternoon and all she really does is hold him feed him excessively and nothing else I love her but if that's all she wants to do or I tell her what she has to do min by min it gets hard because his tummy time his exercises aren't on a schedule they are when he is content. Darek is Colicky so finding a good time to do those are tough enough lol now I started to rant
i know what its like to have grandma think she knows all!! lol but at the end of the day u gotta put your foot down bc YOU ARE MAMA! i breastfed as well n i ABSOLUTELY HATED for someone to get her off her schedule. pumping helps when you HAVE to be away from baby, but when baby is gone, your milk thinks its producing too much milk so production will slow. btwn that and stress, i lost my milk supply with my first baby and then began the headache of transitioning to formula and dealing with an extremely colicky baby. understand that other ppl wanna visit n c baby too, but BABY LIVES HERE. sorry to go on and on but that is an extreme pet peeve of mine for someone to think they can do what they want with someone else kid, then u just bring em back and go on about your business as usual but now im the one who ain't getting no sleep for three days.
best thing for her to do is help u get your milk supply up and not talking about yo business to anyone else. that can b hurtful!
@masepell, same mostly at night or whenever people try and take my baby when I have a schedule or when people tell my bf something he tells me everything and I find out they don't believe in me. For example my mom try's to take Darek to her house which would b ok if she was closer but when Darek comes home the next day I loose sleep for the next 3 days he is 2 months old he has to have structure plus I breast feed. But what really hurt was she told my bf I'm not producing enough but at home that's all he really eats
Thank you @masepell I feel bad I do put a face on to make it seem I can handle but it does get overwhelming
I'm here if you ever want to talk. I know what it's like to have to put on a face. I'm terrified of being pregnant and I get told it's not a big deal or that I should be happy because it's a miracle. even when I feel scared or sad I feel like I'm alone. I'm here for ya
Yup
