5.47: The Questions You're Googling at 2AM Postpartum (Mom Guilt, Resentment, Identity Loss + More)

We pulled the questions you're actually Googling at 2am, the ones you're too scared to ask out loud, and we're answering all of them, no fluff.

In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie tackle your most-submitted postpartum questions: Is it normal not to feel instant love with your baby? Why does mom guilt never go away? Why do you secretly resent your partner postpartum? And what's the real difference between a night nurse and a mother's helper?

This is the unfiltered Q&A you've been asking for, the stuff nobody prepares you for, answered honestly.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Is it normal not to feel instant love with your baby?

• Why you might miss your old life (even when you love being a mom)

• The truth about resenting your partner postpartum

• Mom guilt: why it never actually ends

• Feeding guilt, breast, formula, combo, and why it hits so hard

• What to actually ask your village for help with

• Night nurse vs. mother's helper: what's the difference and which one you need

• How to ask for help without feeling like a failure

• The identity shift no one warns you about after baby #2
