If you’re a first-time breastfeeding mom, you worry like you’ve never worried before. You put your every thought and action under a microscope and weigh them on an invisible scale. You find yourself asking one too many times, “Am I doing enough?”
This question even expands to different versions, such as: Am I producing enough milk? Will lactation supplements help? What if, after doing everything, I still won’t produce as much milk?
We have a lot to share with you in this article, but let us start with this: We got you, Momma.
No mom in the world knew everything she needed to know about breastfeeding the moment she met her baby. No one even knew how to hold her baby properly for feeding! Every mom was as confused, unsure, and overwhelmed as you are. You feel like every other mom’s milk just naturally flows and you’re just there sulking, “Why is it so hard for me?”
Breathe in, breathe out, Mom. All the worries in your head tend to cloud you from the fact that other moms were able to do it only one day, one feeding at a time. Relax. You’re doing great.
If you notice your baby gets fussy, produces less wet or soiled diapers, and loses weight, consult a healthcare professional right away. The expert advice from your OB-Gyne or lactation consultant will get you through your sleepless nights due to endless worries. You may ask them anything that bothers you about breastfeeding – from the best positions to take, to the frequency of latches, and the warning signs you need to look out for.
This season in your life may feel long and hard, but like many other seasons, this too, will pass. Ensure that you are your best in this season by finding your lactation consultant!
Nothing eases a breastfeeding mom’s worry like Natalac, a lactation supplement that’s doctor-approved. With the healthiest and highest quality malunggay leaves in your capsule, you’re sure to get the nutrients you need to boost your milk supply.
Rich in vitamins, protein, iron, calcium, and phosphorus, every Natalac capsule provides for you and your little one, all at the same time! With Natalac, you can go on with your day minus the long list of worries.
Knowledge is power, but too much of anything is unhealthy. The thing about scrolling and reading online, Moms, is that it can get too much to the point of overwhelm.
Breastfeeding is a full-time job that already requires a lot of your energy, so make sure you don’t spend your precious time on energy wasters. Have two to three reliable sources for your breastfeeding concerns and peruse their content instead of consuming every available resource online. Unfollow pages and accounts that sap your energy, and make sure your online life adds value, and not worry, to this season in your life.
Aside from the wealth of tips that you can get from your mom village, connecting with them will provide assurance that you’re not going through things alone. You get taps on the back, the right words at the right time, and the “You got this” that will encourage you to push through with a healthy and happy breastfeeding journey.
Your village will affirm that your worries and burdens aren’t just yours to bear, because many have been there in your place. But don’t forget to give yourself grace and compassion, because every body is built differently!
Calm your mind with the fact that a whole village has got your back, for who else understands moms best but fellow moms, right?
