Having a good pediatrician is more important than I realized. We took our daughter to her pediatrician for the first time and now I feel like crap. She had this condescending attitude - like she can’t believe I didn’t know that I wasn’t feeding my daughter enough food. We feed her when she wakes up and asks for food. Yes my daughter lost almost 1 lb since we left the hospital, but the nurses and doctor at the hospital said that it was normal and that it’ll take about 2 weeks for her to gain it back and for me not to worry about it. It’s only been 2 days since we’ve left the hospital!
Phil keeps telling me that we’re doing fine and not to let the doctor bother me; that I’m a good mother. But I feel so overwhelmed! All I can think about is how our lives were before the baby and how much I want to go back to that life. Things were familiar. Life was easier. Our mistakes wouldn’t have caused someone else their lives.
My brother dropped off cheesecake for me and I was hoping that it would cheer me up. I would have been out with them before all this.
