Congratulations!!! On being a New Mom… You have not only gave birth to a New Life but you have also been rebirthed…. both Physically and Emotionally…

People around you may or may not have told you, “YOU ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL”. By now you would have explored the new stronger version of yourself. It's actually the time to enjoy and cherish each and every moments with your baby, but there may be people around you to ditch you and depress you in the name of the personal experience. 

Now, lets go through the myths and facts I have faced during my postpartum, that let me down at times…. 

1. Mother's Milk vs. Other Liquids : The very first thing that old people around me told was, once the baby is born, baby should be fed with sugar water (The Myth that, The baby will have the same character as the one who gives sugar water first ). But, Baby should not be given anything other than Mother's Breast milk until baby has completed 6 months. So, No other liquid or Food other than Mothers Milk. If in case there is insufficiency in Mothers milk Doctors will let you know what to feed… 
2. Fat Babies are Healthier Babies : The Baby's Physical Appearance has nothing to do with Babies health. Babies can be fat, thin, short… Whatever but babies health completely depends on the intake. Never listen to others when they comment on babies health and take it personally. Farrier babies are only beautiful babies is completely a wrong thought process. Every Baby is unique… Babies are always beautiful, irrespective of their skin tone, appearance etc. 
3. Babies cry often due to insufficient Milk : Basically Babies cry for many reasons, It's not only babies cry because of insufficient milk. Over feeding may also leads to vomiting in babies (This is completely from my personal experience, I was forced to feed my baby for every 10 minutes, since baby is crying, it lead to vomiting, and my doctor advised me not to overfeed baby) 
4. Pampering babies makes them dependent: One of the worst Myth I have went across is, let your baby to others, and don't be too attached or don't be always with your baby. What??? Are you serious??? This has let me to the most deepest depression.. Babies are to be pampered and it's my turn of Parenting, and let me take care, whatever the results are. Never let go off your baby. 
5. Should not have your Partner for help : Never believe or lend your ears to this. Baby's responsibility is completely for both Father and Mother. Nowadays Fathers are interested to take care of the babies as well as the wife, but it is still denied in some of the villages for some stupid reasons…

                       These are the major problems I have faced during Postpartum, I have many other problems too, but these let me to feel like what's going around me?? These kind of Problems still exist. As a mother we have the responsibility to take care of our babies, irrespective of all other Myths. 

                       My Partner has been my major support during my postpartum.. He was there for me in each and every second. So, there's nothing to feel guilty about. As a First time mom, Mistakes are more common, Learn to cherish them and enjoy the moments, instead of feeling awkward. Come on Moms, Lets enjoy the Postpartum
