New Mom Mental Health # 2

Used to sit and cry in the bathroom...Do you feel guilty about "being a bad mother"? Let's know Mom Guilt.

"The baby is smaller than the threshold...Is it because I'm poorly nourished? "

"Not enough breast milk. Must give milk powder...I'm a bad mother, right? "

"Just wanted to run away and take a quiet bath for 10 minutes...Why do I feel so guilty? "

Many new (and veteran) mothers are believed to be

Must have encountered these mean whispers in your head, right?

Psychologically, we call it "Mom Guilt."

(Mother's guilt)

It was caused by society, peers, or even social media, to create the "Perfect Mom Trophy" 🏆.

Mothers have to be perfect after birth, houses have to be clean, children have to be excellent, do not complain tired, do not be discouraged!

So we tried to carry this heavy iron trophy on our shoulders for 24 hours until we had all our back aches.

But you know what?..The world-famous pediatrician and psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott has presented the theory that unlocked it since 1953.

The doctor said that babies do not want a perfect mother, because perfection does not exist, and it will make them unaware of real-life disappointments.

But children need only "Good Enough Mother."

A normal human mother with an angry temper and a mistake.

Have a day to let the baby wait for a moment to cry (to go to the bathroom)

But in the end, Mom would always come back to hug and respond to him with love.

(Scroll through the illustration to learn how to place the trophy of expectation.)

Heal message to all mothers:

Today you pumped the milk until the breast hurts...You are very good.

You made your baby milk powder today...You're very good, too.

Today, the house may be overgrown as a rat nest...It's okay.

Stop comparing yourself to other mothers on the net.

And then allow yourself to "drop a heavy trophy."

Let's go down.

The baby doesn't love you, you're the perfect mother...

But he loves you. You are his whole world. 🥰

Hold tight. You are always a good enough mother for you!
