super super busy

Been a crazy confinement month. Not that i did any confinement practices. My sincere advise to all mums would be to get reliable help or a good confinement lady! Being a new mum poses sooo many challenges. Just figuring out breastfeeding takes a good while. Am i glad i got electric dual pumps or what.

There should be a manual that comes with a baby especially for new mothers because there is sooo much to learn and soo little time to do it. URGH

Talk about sleepless nights. I had the worst cases of sleepless nights during the first 3 weeks.
After that my body seem to wake up by itself. Now though i get woken up by painful engorgements despite pumping every night before i sleep.

Apart from physical discomfort and personal mental adjustment, i also have to learn to be a parent in other people's eyes. Seemingly being a parent automatically gives everyone a right to give unwanted advice. Sigh...
