I agree that manic is the word I would also use to describe the stories she posted this afternoon. I think it’s lovely to see how pleasantly surprised she is by how much she’s enjoying the baby so far. But, 7 days in you’re still running on pure adrenaline and the excitement of the new baby is clouding everything. I was the same a week in, I thought I had an angel baby who slept amazingly and breastfed wonderfully and I kept thinking “wow this is so easy and I feel incredible!”. The fourth week hit me like a tonne of bricks when my husband was back at work and I was alone all day with a screaming baby who could not be settled no matter what I did, and who also wouldn’t sleep more than a few hours each night thanks to colic and general fussiness.
If this continues for her then she’s blessed, but I think it’s premature for her to be posting so frequently on social media almost trying to prove to her followers, and probably herself, that everything is great. She’s also acknowledged herself that she needs to take recovery seriously, she literally wet herself in a shop before giving birth and will still be bleeding now. It’s all so rushed for her social media appearance.
