🙏🏽 oh my!!!!

Hold the mother, not the baby.⁣
⁣
Because the baby’s being taken care of—⁣
fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the world—⁣
by not only the mother,⁣
but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.⁣
⁣
But the mother,⁣
may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,⁣
may be mechanical in her motions as she’s healing,⁣
may feel more like a mess than a mother,⁣
may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,⁣
may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, "she's not good enough,"⁣
and she’s bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.⁣
⁣
And the mother’s that baby's whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn't disappear into that postpartum fog.⁣
⁣
So, hold the mother, not the baby.⁣
⁣
A mother agrees that her baby matters more.⁣
But she’s hurting, while she’s the person behind the baby,⁣
in the background, making it all happen:⁣
feeding her baby at all hours,⁣
snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,⁣
and being that baby’s everything.⁣
⁣
So, it’s the mother who needs your love.⁣
⁣
And a mother will remember who held her up.⁣
⁣
So instead of “I’m coming to see the baby,”⁣
try saying, “I’m coming to see you 𝘢𝘯𝘥 meet the baby, too.”⁣
⁣
Because the mother needs to be held more.⁣

Always and forever

A mom is always thinking about her children,⁣
even when they’re not with her.⁣
⁣
When she’s in labor, after she’s done breathing with closed eyes with each contraction, she’s thinking about her kids at home. She's worried they're sad and if they were okay at school drop-off without her. ⁣
⁣
When she’s out for dinner with friends, she’s looking down at her phone, checking her monitors, making sure her kids are sleeping between bites of food and conversation lulls.⁣
⁣
When she drops her kids off at school, whether it's Kindergarten or High school, she wonders if everyone’s being nice to them, how they did on the test they were worried about, and praying for a good day.⁣
⁣
When they’re away at college, she’s hoping they make smart decisions and reminds them to text her when they get home from a night out.⁣
⁣
When they're postpartum with a newborn of their own, she's worried about how her daughter’s handling the baby blues, if the sleepless nights are getting to her, if she's swinging from happy to teary in a matter of seconds, and if she's hard on herself when her baby won't latch—all of it.⁣
⁣
A mom thinks about her children because she loves them in an inexplicable way,⁣
where she NEEDS to know how they’re doing.⁣
And if she can't,⁣
she won’t stop wondering,⁣
until she can breathe a sigh of relief because she knows they’re home, safe, and happy.
