Needed to rant

Needed to rant cause I know im being childish… I am actually jealous of my mum… My mum is helping me with confinement… so whenever baby cries, she will carry him… so much so that, when my baby is not comfortable and is crying in the middle of the night… i try my best to soothe him but he still crying and screaming, my mum will signal me and I handover baby to her.. and baby in her arms will stop crying. This happened so many times that I feel useless as a mum.. n also coz my breast milk is not thick, my mum will always jokingly say my milk so watery baby always hungry… always need to top up with Formula milk… I know she say as a fact, but it always made me feel like I’m a bad mum who can’t feed her baby…

Trust me, babies will always know who their mummy is & that bond is unbreakable no matter what. Take another perspective, you’ve just given birth , you need all the rest that you can have . If baby can be soothed by your mum , why not . Let her handle while you recharge. likewise if there’s a need to top up for formula don’t need to feel bad, fed is best (: Don’t be so hard on yourself , you & baby still have many many years to go together(: having ample rest during confinement is crucial for your body & mental well being . You’ve got this mummy !
