Is my baby getting enough food? How often should my baby pee and poop? Should I wake my baby to eat? Does this cord stump look okay? When will I have time to clean my house? When will I find time to feed myself? Or even take a shower?! I only sleep in 2-3 hour increments and I’m so tired!! Am I doing it right?
The postpartum period can be overwhelming for a new family. It is one of the most underprepared for times in a new family’s life. And the mom can easily be overlooked by this new cute face. But mom still matters and still needs to be taken care of!
