    I can’t remember the entire first year with my son. There were a million tears and blood and sweat and milk and more tears. It’s a blur of depression and pain and loneliness. But I ended up becoming the best version of myself and I don’t cry for old me ever. She can stay in the past, with a hangover and stinking of cigarettes while I’m watching the sunrise at the beach, building sandcastles with the most delightful little human being I’ve ever met.

    Postpartum is really no joke. The first 2 months were the hardest for me. From latching issues, lack of sleep, and your routine being all out of wack it is definitely HARD.

    Hi Jenn! Babies have a pretty good inner sense of when they are full from breastfeeding so don't feel pressured to keep Lennon latched. It's a good way for him to develop intuitive eating and build feeding cues that you might notice.

      Babies are able to get more directly from the breast than what you produce pumping, and their stomachs are so small still they know when they’re full and will nurse more often. It’s a better indicator to watch diaper output.

    • @drmedeva
      @drmedeva 2 года назад +1

      And try not to obsess too much about how many ounzes he ate. Every baby is different and needs a different amount at a time, looking at the medical charts can make one feel anxious and like something is wrong even if it isnt. Sending you positive vibes.

    • @HuaWei-jl5rz

      I wanted to say the same. My baby breatfed for 5 min and he was done!! You can get more milk from nursing than pumping. Plus if baby gets use to bottle he may start to refuse the nipple bcz bottle flow is so much easier than having to nurse. Happened to ny friends baby. Its time consuming to keep pumping. Thank you gor sharing your rral true experience. Always look forward to ur videos.

    Hi Jen, I just want to say how much I appreciate your honesty about the feelings of being a new mother, as well as how hard it is to adjust to this new role. I feel sometimes nobody talks about the hard days, as they will be judged, but I think it's important to acknowledge that it's not easy and new mothers are not alone, or "bad mother's" if they feel that way, and that it's ok that we miss our lives before having kids. Anyways, just want to say I appreciate that and you are doing amazing :-)

      Nobody talks about it really but it happens to so many parents, I agree, this candid peek into her journey of motherhood resonates with my own experiences and definitely makes me feel better at least in my own mind :)

    Jennn!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! It's crazy that a year ago, when we worked together, your life was so different. So excited to follow your journey as a mum, you've really opened my eyes, to see how strong and caring mothers are! Lennon is so insanely precious. Hope we can shoot together soon to document these beautiful times, and with Lennon! 😍❤️ (I was born year of the ox, like Lennon too!!)

    FTM to a beautiful 3.5 month old and defiantley felt this! Nothing could have prepapred me for how challenging those first few months are - I really struggled with the breastfeeding and just anxious 24/7! Being gentle with yourself is the best thing you can do! Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing

    Girl I feel you in every sense of our metamorphosis. I am currently 5.5 months pregnant and I feel like I’m grieving my old self already and it scares me. There’s a lot of things I enjoy like writing and reading and going to coffee shops and book stores and it just makes me feel like I won’t be able to do those things no more, I know it’s not the end of the world for me but a new beginning and I can’t wait for the moment where I will get to share the things I love and enjoy with my little guy. I’m scared but anxious and excited. I am afraid of postpartum depression as I am currently going through waves of ups and downs. But I keep telling myself I’ll be alright.

    Might be different for Lennon but my daughter only ever fed for 10-15 minutes at a time and I did that exclusively for a year. She always stopped when she was full

    Jen, I have to tell you something. My entire life I've been terrified of pregnancy - like I've had a legitimate psychological fear. Anytime I think too much about having a child and growing one in my belly it makes me feel sick. However, after following your journey, you've given me a different perspective that I think may have helped soften my thoughts around it. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 and have mostly not been worried if I become infertile, but I've started to feel differently. I actually think I would like to be someone's momma. So, thank you for sharing this part of you and your family's lives with us.

    Thank you for being so candid sharing about your postpartum journey so far! I'm a first time mom to a 6 month old, an exclusive pumper and under supplier, and I have totally described that "homesick" feeling to my husband before, often while pumping, obsessing over my supply, and mourning my "old self" . I will say that that feeling evolved as 5 months rolled around and I started feeling more like "myself" again. Keep going mama, you are doing an incredible job! Eventually you will pump less frequently and will be so rewarded watching Lennon grow. Looking forward to seeing how your life and identity evolves as your postpartum journey continues.

    Mom of an 18 month year old now and I had a pretty low supply throughout 17 months of nursing her and she refused formula…luckily she got through the first 4 months with just enough to keep her healthy and once we introduced purées…she started gaining more weight and reach average to slightly above in weight! You’re doing amazing and will get through it and it’ll feel like it whizzed by! Love your videos!

    When we had our first baby in 2019, I cried all the time. We had multiple losses for two years prior so I was expecting to be nothing but happy, but I cried worrying I had ruined my life because suddenly everything was soo different. My baby cried a lot so I thought something was wrong with him. I didn’t produce enough milk but cried at the thought of supplementing since it made me feel like a failure. I cried at the lack of sleep and lack of schedule. I cried every time it started to get dark dreading how the night will go. I didn’t believe anyone when they said it will get better, but it did. It got soo much better.

      " I cried every time it started to get dark dreading how the night will go" yeah been there with the night dread and it def got better after a few months :) It's incredible what you can go through and survive and thrive. The human model is quite resilient.

Thank you Jenn and Ben for allowing us a glimpse into this new chapter of your lives. So happy for you! 💙
