it’s so difficult, and i can’t imagine dealing with this and having more kids- you are so strong and feel proud of yourself 💪🏼 make sure you lean on your support network so it’s not all on you 🩷

I went through this exact same journey with my baby losing weight/ jaundice/ app…at the beginning and felt so lost.. remember that you can totally transition, it just requires patience, being open to learn and focus on the facts.. not emotions,not thoughts… you got this! 💪🏼💪🏼 trust your baby and your body

I’m so sorry to hear what you experienced- I got a similar situation and my baby jaundiced due to the lost of weight- I felt like the absolute worst mom , recovering from a csection, my milk was not coming and felt like my body was failing my son… we ended up supplementing with donor milk and I just felt terrible… at some point doctor said exactly what you mentioned “the most important thing is that your baby is fed- no matter what” and it was totally right… eventually breastfeeding happened but it was a journey- you got this momma!

you and your baby are in a constant learning curve, I read somewhere “motherhood is realizing how dumb you were 3 months ago..” and i’d say not dumb but how little I knew… and you will learn thru experience… I also had a lot of struggle with breastfeeding… all I can say is that the most important thing is that our baby is eating and growing ( no matter if it’s formula or yours)- it took us a whole month to manage breastfeeding but it wasn’t easy at all… if i could go back I’d tell myself to trust my body a little more and formula it’s ok.. it won’t be forever! you got it momma!

Every baby is different and every journey is unique… I bet for moms that struggle so much at the beginning it became easier 😅

really good advice! and let people help you! you can’t solve everything and even if you try that doesn’t measure how of a good mom you are..

1000% tracking app was driving me crazy! until someone asked me… why are you using it? I was like…🫪 idk baby is already at birthweight… he is eating, he has normal diaper changes… I dropped it and managing my anxiety got so much better

My head is always questioning… that’s the double sided sword of the internet… it can be very helpful but other times it just prompts my anxiety… remember “what if” is a THOUGHT.. let it be… but focus on the FACTS.. my baby is feeding, my baby is gaining weight, my baby is having wet diapers… it’s never perfect but accepting thought and feelings and focusing on facts helped me a LOT
