I love u Mama.
Hold the mother, not the baby.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Because the babyโs being taken care ofโโฃโฃ
fed, snuggled, and given all the love in the worldโโฃโฃ
by not only the mother,โฃโฃ
but her partner, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and friends.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
But the mother,โฃโฃ
may have gaps in her mind from lack of sleep,โฃโฃ
may be mechanical in her motions as sheโs healing,โฃโฃ
may feel more like a mess than a mother,โฃโฃ
may be sitting in bed, crying, feeling overwhelmed in her body and life,โฃโฃ
may be full of mom guilt because in her mind, "she's not good enough,"โฃโฃ
and sheโs bleeding, wincing in pain, swollen and emotional.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
And the motherโs that baby's whole world and needs to be seen, so she doesn't disappear into that postpartum fog.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
So, hold the mother, not the baby.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
A mother agrees that her baby matters more.โฃโฃ
But sheโs hurting, while sheโs the person behind the baby,โฃโฃ
in the background, making it all happen:โฃโฃ
feeding her baby at all hours,โฃโฃ
snuggling her baby close to comfort newborn cries,โฃโฃ
and being that babyโs everything.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
So, itโs the mother who needs your love.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
And a mother will remember who held her up.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
So instead of โIโm coming to see the baby,โโฃโฃ
try saying, โIโm coming to see you ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ meet the baby, too.โโฃโฃ
โฃ
Because the mother needs to be held more.โฃโฃ
