So when I delivered, I couldn't wait to cuddle and form a bond with Vaanya. We got so many people who started coming to see us (basically see vaanya). I was excited as to how much love and affection we are going to get but it turned out to be another story. .
They would take Vaanya, kiss her , bounce her and so talk and laugh so loudly right on her ear, she would just cry
.
When she was hungry, few women would just sit there saying "are Kara le, ab Kya sharmana"? Like really! I didn't want to be worrying about covering while feeding, i wasn't a pro at it
.
With the fluctuating hormones, postpartum pain, stress about struggling to breastfeed, I was already going through alot
.
I had visitors making remarks like "bada bura hua, normal hojata" some will say "bacchi me to weight hi nahi hai" and the list is endless
.
Maybe I made faces at them and did ignore them after that, but I am not apologetic about it cause I needed to heal and they should have understand. I wanted to spend more and more time and bond with my baby, learn breastfeeding, learn how to hold her. Did they help? No they didn't. I was mentally exhausted 😴
.
I clearly wanted them to just leave and let me sleep 😂 (BADASS ME) (RUDE ME) (UNTHANKFUL ME)
.
honestly I don't care, a women who just delivered can tell people to move to other place while she feeds, she doesn't need to move or nurse in front of them.
To all people visiting a baby 💛 Please don't kiss the baby : they are very sensitive to infections
.
💛 Sanitize your hands before holding the newborn
.
💛 Congratulate and give mother space
.
💛Ask if she needs some help
.
💛Don't pass comments that can just make her feel angry
