Just a rant

Kyra

Today we finally received to get out of our apartment and we visited some grandparents. My baby is almost 4 months and I exclusively breastfeed. While over at my grandmas she kept saying things like “why don’t you give him water yet” or “he’s so spoiled you need to have him around people more” I tried explaining to her that most of breastmilk is water and he’s too young to be given water and he’s a baby of course I will hold him as much as I want. He’s not used to seeing any faces besides mine and his dads so he was crying for a while when we got there but that’s to be expected after spending a couple of months quarantined. Ugh it just upset me. Then we visited my other grandma and she told me how I need to give him a bottle more and get him used to a bottle or I’ll never be able to do anything 🙄🙄 I just feel like the older generation doesn’t support breastfeeding at all. It’s not the first time I’ve had to hear comments like that either. It’s just really frustrating when people try to tell you how to take care of your child. We were both overwhelmed today, it was our first time getting out and we saw quite a few family members. It felt good to get out but now I never want to again just because of the vibes I get 🙄🙄 Also I’ve put on weight since being stuck in the house and I weigh the same as I did when I was pregnant and I’m super self conscious about it and my grandma made a comment about my upper half being big “like my mom” and my other grandma kept looking me up and down I could just tell she was thinking I looked fat😭 I also just don’t want the weight judgement from more family it hurts my feelings so much. I need to work on myself and get back in shape but it’s been really hard since breastfeeding makes me so hungry... ugh. Sorry this is all over the place 😂 Thanks for reading if you did, I just needed to vent a little bit lmao Here’s a pic of my body now and my handsome baby boy 💕
