Ye sabko pta h ki breast milk baby k liye best hota but har koi ye suggest kun karta h ye 6 month tak breastfeed de..
Agar kisi ko nahi aata hoga tbhi to wo formula milk pilata hoga na..
Jan buj k apne comfort k liye to nahi pilate na..
Sab gyan bantne lag jate hain or dusre bande ko guilty feel krate rahte hain bas

when you are pregnant, u r d centre of attraction .ur needs will be looked upon but mom in law guessed tha it will be a boy n forced to opt for natueal delivery but as soon as the delivery happened n it was a girl via c -section everything changed.
i wasn't an important person now.she started taunting n fight wid my hubby who already has loose temperament.i was not hving enough milk for baby as she was not latching n dis she was telling this to all her boutique customer.babywas more dependent on powder milk .thOugh she was taking care by providing food but taunts were also there as u dont greet people who come to home n dont know wat happened to son after marriage.she only was wearing old suit on my daughter's sutra function though she decided to wear sharara if it was a boy n throw lavish party.
so i decided to go to my mom place.she taught me how to tk care of baby,cleaning of bottle, feeding her, put her to sleep, give her bath n potty training n massage, change clothes,etc .
i spent 2 n half month dere n i was happy. but i used to visit dem Occassionally.
after coming back she n my hubby who was in bnglore dat time started again n passing taunts dat u r married now n hv kid y u went for so long.u should get mature. u r worthless.wat my relatives would be saying.i used to feel lonely n depressed which no body understood. now also it is going on

hey! please remember you are important. only because of you the baby is here. take care of the baby but don't neglect yourself. Pamper yourself too, it's very important as that will help you release stress.

Don't bother about what your in-laws and husband, I know it's difficult to ignore but that's the only solution. Find something interesting to do, join post natal class with your baby. Go out with you friends occasionally. go for a spa and de-stress.

I'm very happy that you went to your mom's place for couple of months. First baby should always be at your mom's place cuz they teach you in a nice way.

Don't be upset, we all are here for you, whenever you feel low then message us and please know that YOU ARE FOUND GREATTT AND YOU ARE A FABULOUS MOM ❤️❤️

Hello everyone,

Postpartum depression is very much common especially for first time mom's. Having a bundle of joy in our arm and disturbed mentally is totally opposite things. I am a first time mom too 😃 and also went through postpartum depression🙁.

I was out of town when my son was born. My husband and I had to handle everything as no family member could accompany us. Soon after delivery I had to start with cooking and take care of my son like giving him bath, changing his diaper all myself. I came back to my hometown when my baby was 20 days and like every new mom I too wanted to spend this beautiful motherhood time at my mom's place but I was not allowed to go and had to stay with in law's. I had a tuff time there, had to hear a lot from in law's. I could not discuss this at my home and no moral support from any one including my husband as he had to go back for his work. I had depression both due to mental pressure and physical changes. I still handle it all alone.

I feel what ever let the situation be..if your partner is with you to support you both physically and mentally, we can over come any depression. In my case I missed it a lot and still missing it.....

I am FTM of 4 mo twin baby girls and I couldn't control my anger and insecurity feeling. I couldn't stop shouting towards everyone and crying for every single thing. Is this PPD? I am feeling low and getting highly emotional. I am really scared that I would cost all my relations but I couldn't help it.

Dr Anju Sreenath Mom of a 9 yr 5 m old girl 6 years ago

yeas. my character changed a lot. am getting too much emotional and depressed. was a bold lady before my delivery,i never had ny series of tears at ny situatns n was strong enuf to handle. but aftr delivry without ny reason tears are rolling down, i cant even control myself. an emotional blast..

Tista Mom of a 8 yr 1 m old boy 6 years ago

Having suffered through post partum depression so adversely that I once thought my life without my baby, I can only say that society is the major culprit behind this anomaly. After the laborious process of childbirth society places us on the judgemental desk to evaluate our baby. I remember people telling me to stop breastfeeding @2months old as I was skinny and my bm would make my baby skinny. This is just one of the many tales I was told. But with the support of my mom who told me to ignore such nonsensical tales and concentrate on raising my baby much better than I was raised. And she also told me another secret,'Mothers know best when it comes to babies.'

same happened with me. At the time of delivery my mother was not with me. I live with my husband away from my native city. and that time my mother in-law was came. my delivery was c sec delivery but as a Bahu m not going to tell my mother in-law that pls take care of me, wash my undergarments, my baby clothes etc. So I never ever asked my mother in-law to do my chores. that time I need my mother who pampered me do care for me I feel lonely. And as a working woman after sometime I feel that my career is not anymore I was finished. that phase of my life is horrible bcz of depression. till the date I still not ready to get another child bcz of that depression, loneness, no one have care for me, my career is finished and many more thoughts.
