Love all these tips- saved a bunch of your suggestions! I chose to formula feed my daughter and was so judged. So proud of myself that I did what I knew would be best for my mental health. I was a better mom to my daughter because of it! So happy you had such a redemptive birth and postpartum!

Hi! Thank you so much for honestly sharing your postpartum experience. I've only had one child but I can see how it can be a different experience for each child/birth! I'm an American married to a man with family from India. In addition to the 40 days of mom/baby isolating themselves from the outside world, another health-focused practice is to only intake warm/hot food and drinks. It's gentle to your system and helps better with digestion.

We’re glad you are doing things differently this time around for PP as you discussed on Insta. Poor Louie you never wanted to be around him ages 1 to nearly 3.

You should comment this from your actual account with your real name and instead of making false claims about what kind of mother I am behind fake accounts. Louie is my world and I spend more quality time with him than anyone on the internet will ever know because I don't record it and post it to prove anything to anyone. I get to soak it in and be present because he deserves that.

Please .. find a more productive use for your time than creating a false reality around someone you don't know personally and yet are committed to hating. I'm far from perfect and I don't expect everyone to like me but I know for a fact that I am a good mom. No nasty comment from you [and whoever 'we' includes] will ever make me question that so you can stop trying.

Actually, this checks out whether or not ahe wants to admit. Look at past Insta posts…meet up with John and Louie places because you weren’t the one taking him. Whisking to London without him. Cotswolds him spending time glued to your partner and not interested in interacting with you. Getting upset with the public’s opinion when you post an absolutely unglued rant about not being able to give a young child over to a kid’s club in a foreign country. A foreign country!!!! Anyone willing to give their baby to a stranger in another country needs priorities checked, and you posted this very publicly hence others can judge your motherhood.
