Mama’s Intuition

Being a new mom is a huge learning curve on its own. Sprinkle some depression and anxiety on top and your nervous system will feel like it’s about to combust. The most beautiful thing I’ve learned (I wish I would’ve learned sooner) is to trust my intuition. My husband and I know my baby better than anyone else. I know my body better than anyone else.

I can remember tirelessly scrolling every night on Facebook groups to find out how to get my body to produce more milk for my son. I wish I could hug all the new mamas struggling with their milk production. The shame I felt at having to supplement with formula and trying to increase my milk production took away peaceful moments I could have had with my baby. There is so much information and opinions out there… not just on feeding but on sleep, play, screen time etc. To new mamas or soon to be mamas: trust your intuition.

A beautiful reminder: My baby was made for me and I was made for my baby.
