I feel bad

I feel bad for not holding my baby long enough recently I’ve just been changing him feeding him and holding him a short time trying to get him back to sleep because I’ve been in a lot of pain it’s hard to stand up to stay awake I feel so drained and in pain it’s been hard holding my baby but tonight he kept crying and crying because he wanted me to hold him I’m 4 weeks postpartum I wish this pain would just go awake it’s been hard going on for 4 days now ibuprofen isn’t even helping

I’m sorry!! That’s hard. That doesn’t mean you are a bad mother. You still have to take care of yourself in order to care for your baby. Postpartum is a big transition. 🥰 Hoping your pain goes away and you have more time to enjoy with him/her pain and guilt free!

Do you have to be standing while you hold him or can he lay with you in bed

@Katherine thank you I really appreciate it

Hello did you have a c section or vaginal birth?

I was the same way! I was so sore I would tend to his needs and put him down it’s okay! I know he still feel loved you need to be okay in order to make sure baby is okay you’ll have years and years of cuddles to look forwards to once you’re healed and rested don’t feel bad

@Kourtney I had a c section

@Janay thank you I just can’t wait to start feeling better

If you can even give him like 5-10 minutes skin to skin propped up laying in bed after feeding that’s what I try to do when I’m totally exhausted. But also don’t feel bad if you can’t because you have to take care of you to take care of him! I hope you recover and heal asap! 💟💟

I was the same way girl! Don’t feel bad :(

@Amanda thank you I do lay him on my stomach and rock him a little to get him To sleep just found out I’ve been in pain because of my wisdom teeth coming in

@Jordan thank you
