I read this in my feed and I had to save the email until I could come back to comment.

My son is now 13. I wish I knew then what I know now. Shortly after giving birth to him, my then boyfriend went to jail and left me alone to care for a newborn. I also had to begin working when he was 2 weeks old, which you are not supposed to do, but I had no options at that time.

My son became colicky and wouldn’t sleep. I remember rocking him for hours and he would just cry. It passed within a month, and luckily, I had family that lived with us, but I remember times when I would be rocking him, and cry right along with him, thinking “I can’t do this”. I was tired, emotionally and physically. Unfortunately, I didn’t seek help because I was uneducated. Luckily, as I said above, his colic was gone very soon after it began but that was very rough for me.

Thank you for sharing your stories, ladies, and I hope that any woman who reads this will get help. If the doctor won’t listen, find another. and another, if necessary.
