Today is a perfect day to fall in love with yourself. Happy V’s Day! I 🤍 U ⠀ #stvalentinesday #spreadthelove #hugtheonesyoulove #levis #jomalonelondon #fashionblogger #fashionista

I was writing and rewriting this post several times in an attempt to create a clear message for every mom that chooses to reject grandmother's help in the first months after birth because they feel uncomfortable and somewhat afraid of how this interfering might affect the new mom's role. ⠀ It's hard for me to explain how grateful I am for all the help that I receive from my mom-in-law nowadays. I was afraid we could get into a fight over Letta's upbringing and simple duties. How stupid I was not to let her in our life much earlier! ⠀ First of all, I want to explain that my mom-in-law lives in Ukraine, and I was debating the best timing for bringing her to the US to meet her granddaughter. Would I be comfortable with her on my side during the first months? How will this affect my bond with the baby? ⠀ So we decided that 3 months is the best option. Can't say that these months were easy on me - isolated and chained to the bed because of a newborn child always wanting to spend her time on my hands. I had no time to eat, to stretch, to go to bath. My body suffered as well because milk production is directly linked to the number of calories I get during the day and how stressed I am. ⠀ All grandmothers in the world - I want to scream from the rooftops on the top of my lungs - you are a blessing! Don't be afraid to have your mother/mother-in-law by your side. It's hard to resist their inevitable love, their insights, and aid. I see the massive change in my 4-months daughter's development and demeanor. She gained a lot because, finally, I eat well. We have already started introducing her the solid foods. She smiles and coos all the time! And her attempts to talk to us, to stand straight on her two, are entirely grandma's achievements. She sings to her all the time, massages her body, teaches her to stand and even walk. I have no idea where she gets all the enthusiasm from and not falling dead from exhaustion. I would. But I see this inexhaustible reserve of energy that grandma spreads toward Letta that I quickly recognize the source of it - love and devotion! It compliments everyone's life. ⠀ So don't resist. Obey! You will learn much. I promise. ⠀ #grandmotherslove
