Vent alert!
Had the most awful passed 2 days. Had baby's 6 week visit. Newborn hasn't gained enough weight. BAM! my heart dropped. Cried the entire afternoon. I feel like I have failed him. Such a terrible mother. Thought I was feeding him properly. Clearly not. Baba is a snacker like mama.
But, in the clarity of the next day, I realised: he is otherwise perfectly fine. Developing ahead of schedule. I just need to make a few tweaks - which we now have and he will be fine. This happens alot. And as a HCW I know this - but Mama feels she needs to be perfect.
Losing weight is not important now. Will be logging just to keep track. What happens happens, as long as he is fine.

Oh shame mommy, don't be too hard on yourself! I stopped going to those visits when our first was 3.5months, add two more babies and 12 years on my advice would be: happy, healthy and thriving is so much more important than arbitrary measures of success and always follow your gut! You are doing well!

I agree, please don't be so hard on yourself, go with you gut instict, you will definitely know if baby is not thriving. You are doing a great job🤗!! And don't worry about the weight now, just try and eat as healthy as possible😊

Also, you are not alone!! Some of our babies get very chunky very fast and some take their time. Keep feeding as often as you can, let them nap on the boob, don’t stress about how long between feeds. And ensure you are getting enough calories. My sisters and I all struggled with this and we got through and now our babies are big chunky toddlers and children. 🧡🧡🧡

Take a page from my mum’s book. Her doctor put her back on the pill, her milk dried up and I starved for two weeks as an infant. I tease her about it and she tells me I ‘made up with all the eating later so don’t complain.’
I can imagine it’s awfully stressful because, plentiful advice aside, it’s still all on you. You’ll be fine.

oh, how hard on ourselves we are!
There is no such thing as a perfect mother, you are a GOOD AND LOVING, CARING, mother, which is enough!
Your baby is healthy and thriving, and loved. well done to you!
