Stressful Tired New Mum (Rant)

6 days PP. My MIL cooking taste very bland. I got no appetite. I get hungry easily. When I add soya sauce to my food, she nag at me. When I tell her that her ginger rice is spicy, she say its good for me. My body very weak & giddy easily. Husband insist me to breast feed. Not having enough milk supply for baby. I am not getting rest. My family kept calling me everyday asking me what I eat? Why my MIL never cook good food for me? They are upset I am not taking wine because of breast feeding. I really don't know how to pleased both side. Baby cry each time I try to breast feed her. I think she is getting impatient. She prefers to drink formula from bottle. It's faster.

Totally understand what you are going through. Hang in there and don't fret the little things. You can't please everyone and you don't have to. Now it's all about you and your baby. Focus on breastfeeding and the baby and be prepared to make compromises if u hv to for the sake of your own mental health. Eg. If not enough breast milk giving formula is not the end of the world. I'm doing mixed feeding using bottle as can't get my LO to latch.
