@caitandsaylor_: Just for some context…Me and my husband live alone on the other side of the world, so we don’t have a “village” around us to help with the baby. For the past 3 months, it has just been me, him (and my younger brother). So every day has just been us, which has made postpartum pretty intense. To add to this, it has also made me very attached to my baby and I struggle to hand her over. So I’m finding that even when I’m not feeding her, I’m finding it difficult to allow other people to take her off me so that I can have a minute to myself. Postpartum is hard, your hormones are all over the place and adding breastfeeding to the mix just adds an extra layer of difficulty. I am still struggling with her latch but I am not wanting to give up on it for her. Also everyone wants to help, my mum, husband, step dad and even my little brother. But when it comes to breastfeeding, no one can help but me. Video about the hormone drop was posted by @Steph and I think it’s a very interesting listen for anyone who is breastfeeding. I adore my baby and I do this because it is what is best for her. I am going to try to shift my mindset today and hand her over when I can because mums need a rest too!! #breastfeeding #postpartumjourney #pumpingjourney #newmum #firsttimemum
