I don’t have kids myself, but I’m at an age when a lot of people around me are having their first child. Boy, does it look stressful!

Even something as natural as breastfeeding brings up a whole host of worries. Am I making enough milk? Is he latching on correctly? Am I nursing too much? Not enough? Am I eating the right foods? Why won’t he stop crying?!

It’s enough to make a new mother want to cry herself, but perhaps they can find comfort in the idea that maybe other species get overwhelmed too.

That is the look of a frazzled mama if ever I have seen one. It’s almost like she’s throwing her hands up in defeat. I’m pretty sure I would too with quadruplets!

I can only give her the same encouragement I give overwhelmed homo sapiens mothers: Hang in there, mama! You’ve got this.
