Will You get annoyed with your baby in postpartum?

There are plenty of reasons you will be annoyed with your child during postpartum. In this episode, I guide you through some reasons you will feel annoyed as a new mom and remind you that it's normal to feel this way (and no, it does not make you a bad mom).

Reason #1 - Lack of Ability to Communicate

They don't know how to let you know what they need. It will be because they cannot talk during the postpartum period, but this is an issue you will deal with throughout a child's life. In this section, I talk about managing when you don't know what your little one wants or needs. My number one tip for dealing with this lack of communication is understanding the cues that your baby is giving you.

Reason #2 - You will be nap trapped.

Babies love to snuggle. There are physiological benefits to having direct contact with you. But it's hard to do anything if you are stuck on a couch. To help you with this, place your little one in a boba wrap, which enables you to get more things done. But also permitted myself to rest with my baby through audiobooks, podcasts, or evening watching TV (the horror!!)

Reason #3 - You have to sacrifice yourself.

Things take a lot of planning, and you cannot just do what you want. It is hard to constantly sacrifice your needs or think ahead so that you don't have to offer. This was one of the most challenging things to manage. I made sure to plan so that I could prioritize my needs, and then I did not feel like I was a martyr as a new mom.

Are you worried you won't be able to prioritize yourself this time?

I know you want to be the perfect mother. To change all the generational trauma that has run in your family for so long?

What about those moments when you feel like giving up? What if you had someone in your corner cheering you on? Are you cheering for a better future and helping you become the mom your child deserves?
