To every new mom who’s heard one of these — we see you.
Most of these comments come from a good place. But somewhere between “is she a good baby?” and “sleep when the baby sleeps,” the person who just did the most extraordinary thing gets forgotten.
So here’s your reminder: you’re healing. You’re feeding. You’re allowed to find this hard. And you deserve to be cared for just as tenderly as you’re caring for baby.
If you love a new mom, skip the questions. Bring the warm meal. Sit with her. Tell her she’s doing beautifully — because she is. 💛
