I can not sleep enough when you are disturbed Every night, when Dad is snoring, Mom wakes up to make milk, change diapers ... Then is this the right way to take care of the baby? Is this a good teaching?… A lot of pressure makes parenting difficult. When under so much pressure, it is not uncommon for a mother to cry easily after giving birth.

Hormonal changes

Postpartum women cry more easily due to hormonal changes. It is the decrease of the hormone estrogen, progesterone (due to the hormone prolactin increased to stimulate the secretion of breast milk) that affected the mother's psychology, becoming more sensitive, sad, and moody.

Mentality

The psychological transition from daughter to motherhood takes time to adapt. Because the body does not adapt to this big change, it always brings anxiety to loved ones, overriding the problem and causing unreasonable causes. Crying is one of the mother's irresistible emotions.

Nobody shares

It is also easy for a mother to feel pity if she is not cared for by her family members, especially her husband, taking care of and taking care of her child. The considerate inquiries from her husband are now more priceless than ever, helping her to be stronger and more motivated.
