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.

I have a bad confinement period too. My mil brought my husband's niece and nephews along to my house during the confinement and they made so much noise and trouble that i cant even rest in peace. As she is bz taking care of them so i had to feed, change diaper, pat my own bb to sleep by myself. My mil will only help to shower my bb in the morning and wet wipe in the evening. I also handle night duty all by myself. My own mum also keep calling, nagging me to drink tonic wine, commented that my confinement food is just normal "cai fan", nagged that i shower and wet my hands (as i wash my own dishes and milk bottles etc). I hid and cry daily due to all these, i also have no appetite and lose a lot of weight, not enough sleep. I also have issue with dl and low supply of milk so i supplement with fm. Now the confinement period is over, my mil goes back to her own house, i looked after bb all by myself, i am tired but happi and enjoy the peace. A piece of advise, tell urself all these will be over soon, just bare with it for a month. Infact i kinda regret that i let all these get into me that i did not spend enough quality time looking at my bb and taking picture of him. I barely had any picture of my bb when he is less than a month old.

Quickly apply for ifc now... some places take months to year to have vacancy. Sorry to be "nasty" but hopefully your mil will missed home and go back soon..
