Motherhood Journey

I delivered a healthy baby girl at 8:32am on 12th of January 2016 via CS. It was the most amazing moment of my life when I heard her loud cry.
I wanted to exclusively breastfeed her but on day 2 of my post partum she developed jaundice.  The doctor said that she didn't get enough milk from me so we decided to mixed feed her with formula on the 3rd day since my breast milk is still low in supply.
For the first time in my life... me and my husband were grateful for a 2 hours full sleep. I experienced feeding her while my head was bobbing sleepily (almost snapped my neck). I suffered post partum depression due to the hormonal changes. I was literally tearful most of the time and yes... crazy too.
But despite all the hardship and sleepless nights...journey to motherhood begins now.
