French Mother Doesn’t Censor What Motherhood Really Looks Like In Her 30 Comics

Well, the staff needs to learn SOMEHOW ! I accepted students with my midwife during my entire pregnancy, because I want the next generation of professionals to bel well educated, and if patients aren't willing to teach them how to be caring, empathetic and nice, how could they ever learn ?

Death Becomes Her? I love that movie, it is hilarious!

They weren't witches.

Hang in there with it. The first week my milk came in was hell. But after a couple of weeks doing it, it really did come naturally. It is the first time for you BOTH, so give the baby some learning space as well as yourself. I am very glad I stuck with breastfeeding for 10 months. My child is healthy as a horse, few colds and illnesses, and was always a chunky, well-nourished infant. Totally worth the pain and pumping!!

If it hurts, baby is not latched on properly - get help from a breastfeeding supporter and NOT your health visitor. Dr Jack Newman & Kellymom are all fantastic resources for helping you to breastfeed.

Whatever you do, please let your baby decide when it is hungry and how much it wants to drink/ eat. Feed baby when baby is hungry, not when the clock says so. It does not need 4 hours rest between feedings. If it wants milk every 10 minutes, give it to them. If it wants to such 30 minutes, thats ok too. Only your baby knows when it is hungry and feeding is not only giving food. Its comfort and cuddle time.

Is the best thing you can do for you and your baby , he gets the best nourishment and you get inmunized from breast cancer , no bottles to make in the middle of the night no hunting for microwaves when you go out , you always have the right amount and thre perfect temperature , start exposing your breasts to the sun and brush gently with a toothbrush , when he gets teeth he willbite just gently press his nose and will get the message ,remember 5 minutes in 1 breast , 5 minutes on the other , use your index finger to separate the baby from the breast . I breast fed for a year . Happy lactation , don' t be scared , prepare yourself before so your nipples are not that sensitive , is going to be great .

It's really not that bad. Make sure you get a good wide latch so they aren't just chewing on your nipple.

Wait til the oxytocin kicks in. You'll be blissed out feeding your little pirahna.

Lanolin cream helps. Include it as a must have in your hospital bag. The cream will help soothe stinging sensation as both baby and you learn latching and hold techniques.

(mom of 3) Don't be! Read everything you can on beginning of lactation process and proper latching, and you are more than half way there. The rest is patience and not worrying whether the baby is getting enough milk or sth. With each of the three I was so sore and every breastfeed was like they have razor sharp teeth (nipples have to get used to it) but after that it worked like a charm. Stay positive. Best of luck for both of you and the baby (or babies)! 💜

It's not that bad. It feels weird at first. One kid my nips did bleed but using a shield helped immensely.

Don't be. Prepare correctly and it will be a wonderful feeling.

If it hurts that bad all the time then the latch is wrong.

also, your SO might be a willing helper if you're have trouble starting/convincing the tatas to cooperate in the new duties initially. adults are USUALLY better at taking instructions than a 1 week old...

It isn't easy for all mums.

Lol says the guy with no kids.

It is not possible if the child is too small. And I can imagine how stresfull is listening to the sounds from behind the door.

I remember when I was pregnant people told me I was naive for thinking I could keep my son out of the bathroom when I was using it... well he's nearly two and he's never been in the bathroom with me using it. I just don't like an audience when pooping 🤷‍♀️ And he's kept safely in his baby-proofed playroom when I go.

And you must not have kids, or you always have help. Yes, teach your kids boundaries, and locking the door can be used to enforce that. BUT, do you know how much stuff a 2 year old can get into in 30 seconds without supervision? How much stuff you didn't know was dangerous until that toddler is left alone, even after 5 kids? Privacy becomes a temporary dream in order to ensure safety. The good news is this stops as they get older (theoretically, I have one learning disabled child....it still is an issue and will be for years to come)

Good luck teaching a toddler boundaries and locking yourself up when there's no one else to take care of him.

You probably don't have kids... it's AMAZING how the smallest things are hard with very young children

Yeah when I was little (3 or 4?) I used to tap dance my feet under the stall doors of bathrooms because I thought it was funny but I don't think you could have stopped me by teaching boundaries because I didn't really understand

Agreed. The bathroom is no place for a kid to play. Lock the door and eat some fiber. And YES, I am a mother.

Yep! Good lock with that Leo H!

It's really had to "go" when there is a little voice on the other side of the door calling "mommy, mommy, mommy" and rattling the door k**b...I always had to yell "go find Daddy!"

Don't judge. Some kids get upset when put in a playpen, others are fine.

Yep!

I know right? Every "true comics about motherhood" includes kids (and usually sons) who watch and comment their mother pooping. Like wtf?! I don't think it's right and in fact none of the moms I know never takes their kids to the bathroom (unless it is in public)..

No, it's called loving your child and letting them know that you are always there for them while they are totally reliant on you.

Me too. When I was a teen I didn't care and got sunburned all the time. Once so badly I had to go to the hospital for treatment. I'm turning 43 at the end of this year and my skin is starting to show the sun damage I did. I'm really regretting that now.

I got melasma during my first pregnancy and it has never left. I wish I would have worried about sun damage at 18.

My shoulders are covered..

There are plenty treatments which can help you remove sun damage. Most of it is just top layer of skin dsmage
