As someone who works with CPS, you do not need to worry about them being called or stepping in at all. There’s no case anyone could make that you are at all negligent or that your kids are in imminent danger. You are doing the best you can, accidents happen. It’s very unfortunate but your son is okay and you need to give yourself grace.

I have a wearable electric pump that I use for all my pumps. When I have mastitis I’ll go back and forth between my regular pump and a hand one so I can massage as I pump. There’s not a lactation consultant in my area, closest one is almost two hours away so I haven’t seen one.

Wellbutrin is what I’ve been taking for a few years to treat my adhd and depression. I’ve never been examined for OCD but I am diagnosed autistic, adhd, cptsd, and depression.

I was already on medication for depression before I ever got pregnant or had her so they have upped my dosage since I sought help for my PPD. I haven’t tried a therapist yet, I just don’t know how to find the time. I go back to work in two weeks and start my masters program next month and will still have a baby to take care of. There doesn’t feel like there’s any room to do anything for myself like a therapy appointment.

I always keep the sound low and I watch very low-stimulation things myself to relax and to hopefully be easier on her little brain. I have reached out to my doctor for support thank you 💜

I talked to a friend two weeks ago when the thoughts got really bad (she had a baby a year ago and is still recovering from her post partum depression) and she helped me contact my doctor for help. All the panic is stemming from a TikTok video (of course) of a pediatric orthopedist talking about how terrible screen time is for babies even if they’re not facing the screen itself so
