It's understandable that being a new mother can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, and anxiety can definitely affect your overall well-being and even your milk supply. Here are a few suggestions to consider:
Consult a Healthcare Professional: It's essential to speak with your doctor about your anxiety and stress, especially considering the impact on your milk supply. They can help you determine whether it's safe to resume any anxiety medication that you were taking prior to pregnancy or recommend alternative options that are safe for breastfeeding.
Support System: Reach out to your support network. Friends, family, and even support groups can provide emotional support and practical assistance, allowing you to get some rest and take care of yourself.
Sleep Management: While getting enough sleep can be challenging with a newborn, it's important to prioritize rest as much as possible. Try to nap when your baby naps, and consider asking for help from your partner or a family member to watch the baby so you can get a longer stretch of sleep.
Next Steps
Remember, you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of new motherhood. Seeking guidance from medical professionals and leaning on your support system can make a significant difference in managing anxiety and taking care of yourself and your baby.You may consult a CBT specialist
