"Is this normal? postpartum" DELETED POST

Whyyyy did you delete your post girl! i guess i was taking too long to respond. You posted asking if it was normal to feel like failure and that your baby wakes every 2 hours and you can't sleep well enough because you are so frightened by anything that could happen to your little fragile baby ❤️I hope you see this

It is so completely normal!!!! I went through the same thing- my baby woke every 2 hours on the dot!!! I would nurse him then pump then sleep for MAYBE 30 min but every sound would startle me so i went like 2 weeks with almost no sleep.

I was so scared, i didn't know if it was normal, or if it was PPD.

But it got so much better just as i was thinking i was the worst mom ever. Baby started sleeping longer (also, never wake a sleeping baby to eat, unless there's something wrong with their weight gain).

breastfeeding is such a commitment but after you get through the rough patches in the beginning, it's the most beautiful rewarding feeling.

One of the first things i did was pump enough for a few bottles and DEMAND that my man feed him and rock him back to sleep for a few nights. He didn't understand how miserable i was so i had to legit TELL him to step up lol.

Another thing is reaching out... I felt like a failure the first time i asked my mom to come over so i could eat and get a nice hot shower but that's the way it should be. You absolutely have to make time for yourself. Like i said, baby will make it easier for you but make sure you're helping yourself out too. Go outside, get lunch with a friend or family or your partner. Your feelings are normal💕
