Bad mom

You will get adjusted in no time. Is she in the same room as you? I would bet it wasn’t more than a minute or two that she cried if she was in the same room as you. As for the phone, I did it twice in the beginning as well bc we’re constantly holding the little creatures - it’s bound to happen since there’s not much else we can do when they’re little potato’s. I just bought a case with a loop on the back bc I felt so bad when I hurt hers. These little things don’t define your worth or being a mom. It’s such a shock to your system all these changes happening.
Things happen girly! It doesn’t make you a bad mom! Or mean you aren’t supposed to be a mom. When I had my first, I also felt that way. I couldn’t produce milk for him and I felt so shitty. But a fed baby is a happy baby regardless of how they are fed. I have a 2 year old, a 12 week old and I work full time. There are times I don’t hear my daughter wake up to feed. You are a good mama! Your body has been through a lot, give yourself time!
Bring her in your room with you it will be easier that way for the first few months 🥰 and I’ve done it a time or two it doesn’t make you a bad mom thinks will slowly get better and easier
It’s okay everyone makes errors! That’s normal! You’re a great mom because you care and want to do right by her! Forgive yourself for the small mistakes. You’re doing 100 things right each day by loving her!
It’s such a huge adjustment in those first few weeks, give yourself some grace, you’re all learning how to navigate this. Your baby will be totally fine, even if they cry for a bit without you hearing. But they need a mama who keeps showing up knowing she’s getting better every day and being their caretaker. You got this
