She was feeling useless when she was pregnant, didn’t like her new limitations. Then the birth was pretty rough, episiotomy… if you don’t know, baby quite literally ripped her a new one. Feeling even more useless and ugly. To top it off, her milk isn’t coming on strong yet so we have to supplement with formula. Baby don’t get It, so she refuses to take the bottle from her. The wife knows she needs help, and that just makes it worse. What do?

The local LLL grand master has more pronouns than I care to repeat, but I’ll check out the tea.

She could be vitamin C and D deficient too getting supplements for those could perk her up a bit.

She takes her vitamins or else she gets the hose again.

Ew, pronouns aren't good. Try to find their website, might be good for researching.

Have her avoid caffeine and chocolate. My kids are 30 and 40, ideas don't come quickly anymore.

What’s wrong with chocolate? She’s been looking forward to the chocolate for 9 months!

Stimulants may affect milk production.

Ah, geez, you had to ask! Seriously, I can tell you from personal experience, chocolate is not a good thing for new mothers. Maybe after a bit. I didn't realize until I read something. It didn't affect milk production, but definitely affected my mood. This was 40 years ago, so, I just remember the basics. There's probably research somewhere. Perhaps it's all the sugar? I just don't know.
