People around them often throw offensive words and draw conclusions without understanding the essence.

Young mothers have a huge responsibility to care for baby, and then friends repeat that she is doing something wrong, that she does not follow the child well enough, and so on.

Does not breastfeed - does not like the baby 

Such strange statements are sometimes allowed not only by close people, but also by GW consultants, who must be professionals. Both are mistaken, because successful feeding is not exclusively related to the presence of oxytocin in a woman's body. The amount of milk depends on many factors, sometimes hormones interfere with a woman, sometimes the process itself seems too painful.

And the last thing women need is reproaches that she does not love the child.

Mom must be with the child 24/7

You love a child, but you need a rest. This is normal.

Problems begin precisely in those parents who take an unbearable burden, trying to control everything in the world. Maternal burnout is a real thing that many face. Again, it is normal if you delegate part of your responsibilities to your husband, mother and other close people in order to spend time in peace, communicate with someone, and recover.

We do not cook ourselves - it poison the child

This statement is especially loved by our grandparents. Once, perhaps, there was a certain grain of truth in him.

But today in the store we can find mashed potatoes and other types of baby food that are in no way inferior to those prepared at home. If the grandmother refuses to understand this, she will have to accept it.
