My breastfeeding experience began the same day that I gave birth to my
son, October 29th, 2017. I started off feeling discouraged. I didn't
know anything about producing colostrum. At
the hospital, I delivered at their lactation specialists were amazing.
They didn't pressure me into breastfeeding my newborn and they were very
hands-on and supportive in my decision to breastfeed.
After
I gave birth to my first child life as a mother really started to hit
me hard. I was no longer working due to me not having any close family
members near me that I can trust to watch my child so I can have the option to return back
to work. I was a loner too.
Going to work or just
heading out the door and seeing other humans and interacting with them
was one of the many highlights of my day. Life has changed for me and I
embraced it all along with motherhood. I just wanted to share a few things that a lot of women won't tell you about becoming a stay at home mother for the very first time.
As a mama now I'm heading into the 6th week of my baby's growth
development. Nobody told me how demanding this stage of a baby's growth.
My baby has been breastfeeding non-stop, has been fussy, and not
wanting to sleep.
About
a week ago from today I was sitting with my laptop in my lap on my sofa with my hands on my head stressed. Yes, I was stressed and my anxiety was low-key through the damn roof. Now why my nerves were so bad?
