It Shouldn't Be This Difficult


Listen Later

Today I’m giving you permission to let yourself off the hook because that’s what I had to do. As moms, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up for something we did or didn’t do because we just didn’t know.

As a new mom, I expected there to be sleepless nights and lots of crying - mainly my daughter, but also me. And when things were hard, and I mean really hard, those first two months after my daughter was born, I thought maybe being a mom just IS this difficult.

My daughter's two-month checkup at the pediatrician confirmed my worst fears though. Something was not right and I had been clueless while my daughter suffered. 

In today's episode, I talk about the challenges I encountered breastfeeding a baby who was diagnosed with a dairy protein allergy after months of struggling with her sleeping, eating, and endless crying, how we got the diagnosis, what we did to turn things around and get going in the right direction (her and me), and where we are now with dairy in our diets. Hint - I did NOT have a good experience with dairy-free pizza!
