As a single and childless person, the thought “this is stupid, why is she crying?” NEVER crossed my mind. I was just blown away by the struggles of motherhood, grateful that you shared so much with us, and in awe of the amazing mothers that work so hard to care for those that they love. Thank you for sharing your struggles and realistically preparing those of us who want children in the future. You’re amazing!!!!💗💖💗

[@mikayla9146]

Any time I watch her videos, I am so glad I have decided to not have kids. They are cute, but..... So glad to have seen the reality of babies, and confirm my thoughts.

[@NatalieeRaine]

@@mikayla9146 What a lot of people don't realize is that yea it's a struggle in the first few years but it's an investment just like going to school. Your kids will grow and before you know it, I mean it's really in a blink of an eye become independent and no longer need your assistance every day. I can truly say it is the most rewarding experience you will ever have, and the rewards never stop until the day you die. Its leaving a legacy and creating a best friend that you never thought you could love as much as you do. They make you better just by existing, it is truly magical, and I really pity anyone that chooses to exclude themselves from the experience. Honestly if it was a matter of not wanting to physically have them, I can relate but then I would say Adopt! if your stable and in a position to do so Why Not!

[@mikayla9146]

@Natalie Raine. Your opinion sounds very idealistic. We can agree to disagree. I have not ever known someone whose parents are their "best friends". I know many people who have a great relationship with their parents, including myself, but best friends? I don't think that is what parenting is about. Does your best friend disipline you? Likely not.

[@NatalieeRaine]

@@mikayla9146 lmaooo well they grow into best friends , my mother is my best friend we laugh go out to eat and hang out , watch movies and now she helps with my littles. You won’t be disciplining your child their whole life they eventually grow into adults and it depends on how you raise them to be honest. It’s true all children deserve good parents but not all parents deserve good children so if someone feels incapable of raising a well adjusted person then I guess yea it’s probably for the best that they avoid having children.

[@mikayla9146]

@Natalie Raine. One could be a very good parent, and still have children that are not... Enjoyable and best friends as you term it. i am far too busy and enjoy my life with my man as it is. Children look and seem like a huge burden to me. Mr Moon seems to be an amazing Dad, although he recently looks like he has had the life taken out of him. I personally do not believe in day care, and would not wish to leave my exceptional job to stay home to raise a child. It looks horrific... To me. I'm glad you enjoy it, as I believe children deserve parents who are glad they have them. I was a child such as that, with a stay home mum who worshiped my sister and myself.

[@MD-pi8gs]

As a woman who has never been pregnant, nothing you said came off as stupid. I think us women can recognize the emotional roller coaster it can be for a mom. I hope you feel better soon and continue to be supported by your loving hubby.

If you're in your early 20's dont count yourself out to where you have no choice to have kids in the future. Things change as you mature and your life grows beyond cars, money and tik-tok fame. Once you have them you realize what an amazing blessing you almost missed out on.

[@GuilleTorressi]

The amount of biological and psychological struggles that women go through when they become mothers, it's crazy! You are a warrior mama, and you're doing an amazing job. I've seen your journey since you were single before you met Mr. Moon, and you have been through so much. You should be really proud of the life you've built. Being a mum is going to have so many emotionally taxing moments, but hold on to the fact that you've built such a beautiful family with your husband 💜

I breastfed my daughter for 10 months and didn't make the connection on the rollercoaster of emotions I was feeling back then until now. I was severely depressed for some time after I stopped breasfeeding and thought it was just late pospartum depression. She's 7 years old now and looking back everything makes sense. Really thank you for sharing your honest journey with us 🥺💜

[@siennasista]

I didn't know anything about the post breastfeeding depression until now. I breastfed my two girls a total of 4 years between the two and I definitely slipped into some serious depression and this lines up. I had stop abruptly with my last one when she was 18 months and I devastated. She was fine though. That was 6 years ago. I'm glad you're talking about this. Nobody talks about it. I never made the connection until now. Thank you for sharing so openly

[@Gamer_Mama_0611]

Pregnant & hormonal here. THANK YOU for educating & normalizing this part of motherhood. I've always wanted to have a baby (33) & felt ashamed struggling through pregnancy because of the stigma of how women are supposed to be happy, blissful, & grateful. But I learned that was normal. Then just the other night (despite all my struggles) I cried uncontrollably because I realized my baby won't be in my belly someday. That he will be part from me, that he will grow, & that I will have to share him with others. I can't even think of preschool right now. But I have realized that motherhood is a whole Rollercoaster of emotions at different parts for different reasons. That's what makes us warriors as mothers. We literally go through all this & help our babies grow.

[@yadig8157]

Rubin and Luna are so big!! Can't believe they're already turning 1 year old 🥺 can't wait to see the family gather for the big celebration. I wish you good luck in this process Megan, you're incredible and those babies are super lucky to have you as their mommy 💖

I’m a person who’s never given birth, and not once did I think your feelings or emotions were invalid or “stupid”. I’m honestly just overjoyed that you shared your vulnerable moment with us. And though I haven’t experienced what you’re going through, I genuinely empathize. I know you’re experiencing things you haven’t before, and however you deal with those things - no matter how imperfect you feel - are correct, right, and appropriate. You are divinely you. And I think we all see it. You will overcome. And tomorrow, your babies will show you how much they love and appreciate you through their secure attachment. You’re doing great!!!!🎉

[@queendivad4435]

I completely understand. It's not just breastfeeding. Every phase I went through with my one had me balling. Starting school, not needing you to do things for them, graduating from kindergarten, brushing their own hair, turning into a teenager, finishing primary/middle school and now heading to Grade 12. My heart can handle it. I wish my bambino was little again. I had so much fun with my bambino. Enjoy every moment with them. Time flies so fast. 🥺Celebrate every single thing you won't regret it. You are doing a great job. You slaying. You go yummy mummy🤌🏽💋

Ok crying now cause of this comment 😂😂🥹

[@BriaLuis]

I have five children and my first baby was born in 2003. I was 20 at the time and didn't know anything about postpartum or any of the symptoms following breastfeeding. Back then, we didn't focus too much on mental health or feelings. You just dealt with it and kept it pushing. Each pregnancy was different for sure. My first baby didn't breastfeed because she refused to latch on so she went straight to the bottle. My second was breastfed, but very briefly because I had to go back to work. My third wasn't too bad, but then my son (my fourth child) was a booby boy and demanded my boobs all the time. He hated the bottle. It was then that I can totally relate to what you are now going through. But back then, I didn't know why my emotions and feelings were going all over the place and I drove my husband crazy. I wish I had known at that time what I know now because it would've save me and my husband from a lot of grief, arguments and frustration. It's awesome that you share this portion of your life too because this is a lot more prevalent than most people think. And it's nice to know that I wasn't all that crazy just because back in the day. There was a good reason for it! lol. Blessings to you and your family from Hawaii. I can't wait to see vids of the twin's first birthday party if you decide to post one up. Thank you for all you do, Megan!

[@melindamercier6811]

It definitely different for every pregnancy and every woman. My first pregnancy, I had PP PTSD for 3 months after, and weaned at 15 months and I didn’t have any issues with depression. But my last pregnancy was very different. When you stop breastfeeding, your hormones adjust accordingly, with varying levels hormones it also happens when milk comes in, after birth, before labor, and when you first get pregnant. My last pregnancy (late 2021) was the craziest hormonal rollercoaster I have ever experienced in my entire life. I literally felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown at every stage including weaning. But even weirder, I’d get worse depression while breastfeeding. He is my last baby which made me even sadder and the feeling of guilt over it was hard. Hormones are crazy, y’all. We go through so much. Give yourself some grace. Xoxox

[@anacarpenter9254]

I know the feeling. My son is turning 10 years old in a few days, and I still remember how hard that was. And he weened himself. He just abruptly stopped accepting the breast at around 9 months old. I was so heartbroken. Don't beat yourself up. You're doing an amazing job.

[@80schunkaymunkay]

I breastfeed my daughter. I had her a month before you had your babies. when I started her on solids for the first time I was totally shocked myself how much I cried! It was the first moment when I realised this is the beginning of an end. I totally get you, I have moments where I’m really emotional and sad. Hormones are crazyyyy!

[@MrsMeganMoon]

Right~~ I felt that way when she ate food too~~~

[@HiKhou]

Girl, real talk. Taking a break from social media or vlogging could be the best thing for you two. You're both young with twins. Give yourself a break because you are doing amazing! One thing I learn from having four kids is to accept help whenever it takes the weight off your shoulders. Most importantly...hire help. Took me 4 kiddos to realize that I don't need to be doing everything. Sending you positive vibe.

[@anastasiaapaez]

I know that feeling, when I had my last baby every milestone she hit just had me crying.... the last time I breastfeed her, when she learned to crawl, when her first tooth came in, etc....😭😭.... it's a rollercoaster watching your babies grow. You are both excited to see them grow & learn but, sad because they are no longer a little baby.

[@joyfulliving1161]

I had my babies almost 20 years ago...and you helped me just now. I LOVED breastfeeding so much so that I breastfed our now 16 year old for close to 18 months! Our first born weaned himself at 9 months. Both times when it ended i felt so so sad...now I know from your story it was not just me...being black, it was frowned upon to breastfeed so long. So I felt guilt for stopping. So thank you..for sharing your story. But i want you to know, that although you stopped, the connection will always be there because of it. That doesn't go away. You are a great mom, and will be forever connected to your babies like no one else.

[@michhee]

I'm currently breast feeding. I never knew that depression would be a possible side effect of weaning! Pregnancy for me was rough, I had baby blues and the fourth trimester was a struggle... it's tough being a woman and a momma! You got this 👍 🥰

[@marionmatzke7836]

The only sentence that helped me get better through this time with my daughter was "formula is no poison, it has nutrition my baby needs". We are very very close. I am so thankful for you sharing your story.

[@Yesenia.H]

I remember when I had postpartum. It was so hard because I had no idea that’s what was going on with me. I did workout and took walks because it helped my mental state. Never be ashamed to talk to someone about your emotions. There are so many tools to help women and families with postpartum these days. ❤

[@ade3050]

As a woman who breastfed their little girl until she was 14 months old, all the emotions you were feeling are all normal. So it not stupid that you were crying at the drop of a hat, just make sure you talk about it, cry all the emotions out, hug your husband whenever you are feeling the blues and continue to enjoy your children blossom. I wish you all love in the world 😘😘

[@buffandbrindle]

I'm still breastfeeding at 2 years old. I can't imagine how you feel. ❤️ When my daughter is ready to wean, I'll be sad, but remember that this is natural.

[@peachycbunny]

weaning off my son was one of the hardest parts of motherhood for me. i personally didn't go through the emotional connection like other moms ik have had. i was READY to get my baby off my boobs lol, the teeth were killing me. i didn't even start out breastfeeding cause he didn't latch on, so i was pumping most of the day, everyday, up until he latched on and started REFUSING the bottle. the whole time i was severely depressed, during pregnancy and postpartum. i didn't feel a strong emotional connection while i was pregnant or even after i gave birth. breast feeding was a pain cause i would release sooooo much oxytocin and feel nauseated. so i dreaded breast feeding. it's been a few months,,, but ive just now been starting to miss it... listening to u get emotional talking about it makes me emotional all over again. i just wanna say ur so strong for going through this journey! 💕 sending love

[@SWEETPEA.522]

Hi Megan💜 I’m a Mom of 4, my oldest is 31 & youngest is 16. Even at my age & this stage, realizing they are all full grown, the emotions HIT you! It’s never ending. Moms have a type of bond unlike Dads because we carried them, birthed them, nursed them, and everything else. It’s a lifetime bond. They were attached to us by the cord & although it’s cut at birth, the emotional bond can never be severed. You’re a great Mommy & Mr. Moon is a wonderful Daddy & husband. Your are greatly blessed. Sending you BIG HUGS GIRL- YOU GOT THIS, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! 💞💞❌⭕️❌⭕️💯

Honey, I don't plan to have children for various reasons, but please know I absolutely don't think it's stupid or unreasonable for you be upset over this. You're going through big changes, some of them hormonal which is totally beyond your control. It's okay to cry, it's okay to be sad, I can't even imagine the rollercoaster of emotions that having kids puts women through. It must be really tough :( you got this Megan.

[@yyyannuuu]

Pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum are some of the most taxing experiences a human body & mind can go through. You’re a war vet in my books, ma’m. Cry freely and dispense all the self compassion available. 💕

[@cheyenneinseoul2136]

I was crying right with you. My baby is currently 4 months and breastfeeding is already an emotional roller coaster. The beginning is so hard and painful and then you get into the swing of things. You are constantly worrying if you are doing enough for them, just to later on no longer be needed. Its so emotionally hard to be a mama sometimes. I haven’t started weaning, but I know I’ll be a mess once I do.

[@shellyreynolds8948]

You've done an amazing job Megan. It's natural so don't be hard on yourself. You've had to hit the floor running caring for two bundles of joy at once. So you haven't really had enough down time to really unwind and get into your feelings yet. Just know you rock, and it's wonderful to feel down sometimes. You're no robot so welcome in feeling crappy for a bit. It'll only get better soon.

[@emmyluv.el1]

I'm a single person with no children. I didn't think it was stupid; you are a wonderful mom. I actually cried when you cried, I'm so sorry you are going through a hard time, but you will get passed this.

Thank you for being so open about this. Honestly, post partum struggles vary for every woman but we can all agree that crying WILL be apart of it. You are so strong and such a great woman and mother. As a fellow new mom, I hope you get through this process with as much love, grace and support as possible💞

[@Alysses]

“This is stupid, why is she crying?” Your feelings are real and valid. Never stupid. I went for 12 months and had to wean because of work. The guilt I felt when my baby would grab for me and not understand why I wasn't breastfeeding him-- It's indescribable. All I can say is give yourself grace. You are doing great. Hug on the babies more and hug on Mr. Moon more. Hugging boosts the release of oxytocin.

[@nieshniesh1]

I breastfed my sons, weaned them and cried a lot. My babies are 5 and 7 and I’m still crying at times. Sending you love Megan. You are an inspiration and thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your motherly experience.

I've been through the weening process twice. It was super difficult each time. I didn't know last time would be my last time... and my youngest will be 3 next month and I'm still heartbroken. And glad you have Mr. Moon by your side through it all. A supportive partner really is the best help through these feelings. Sending love ❤️

[@MrsMeganMoon]

Thanks for sharing~ and for watching and supporting ❤❤

[@mee-hee]

I can totally relate! I breastfed my 2nd and I was so sad when she weaned. It really creates such a close bond between mom and baby...losing that closeness and the hormonal change that comes along with it can be such a rollercoaster, even when weaning is the right decision. Just know you'll get through it and once the hormones balance out, the newfound autonomy is so nice! Be gentle with yourself, momma!

[@ThatBlackPiano]

I’m single & have no children, but I promise you that I never, for a second, thought of your situation or you crying as something “stupid”. I assure you your feelings are valid and understandable. Hang in there, love! The postpartum journey is different for everyone, but can be extremely exhausting. Not enough mainstream media outlets have dedicated info that puts postpartum concerns in the forefront so a lot of women have zero idea about it. You sharing your story is a fantastic way to get information out for others planning to start a family of their own and eventually weening their babies. Make sure to take time for yourself and your mental health even if that means spending time alone for a while so you can begin to rebuild that mental pathway accepting the distance the will slowly grow and become necessary between you and the children as they grow. You’re doing great, dear. Just give yourself time and space and never be afraid to ask for help. I’m sure your mother-in-law would be more than happy to help you out from time to time.❤

[@rachiepants3408]

Thanks for sharing your experience Megan! I plan to be a mom within the next couple of years and in my research I’ve found that it’s often very hard for mothers to talk about the post-partum rollercoaster of emotions, either on camera or even writing about it in blogs. Probably because it brings up all of those emotions and nobody likes to cry or be vulnerable to strangers. So I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability💜. On another note, Luna and Rubin are growing up soooo fast, they’re almost ONE, it’s crazy! I almost can’t believe how fast the year has gone by. It’s been such a pleasure being able to watch your journey!

[@sabrinabtcher14]

Girl, I would be shocked if anyone that has been pregnant or breastfeeding thinks the emotions you are feeling is crazy. Motherhood is crazy and the things that it does to your body are SO crazy. Seeing this made me hurt for you because I know exactly how you are feeling! People that have had these issues don’t talk about it enough. I’m so glad that people are finally starting to talk about the negative things that happen to our bodies during/after pregnancy. It’s the best thing in the world but it can also be some of the darkest times in our lives. I’ll be praying for you!

[@mariabarnes9197]

[@salo81]

Do you WANT to stop breastfeeding? You don't need to. Sure, if Luna whould not want to feed, if she whould wean herself, you cannot really do much. But If she still wants and you want it, nobody can stop you. She is still little. I breastfed my 3 children way beyond a year, beyond two years actually. Of course they ate at that point and it was mainly before their naps/sleep or If they had hurt themselves to soothe them. It is possible to work and only breastfeed your Baby or toddler in the evening. As the Babies get older they even understand that. Just do what feels right for you and your family. I am really happy to hear that you and Mr. Moon want more children 😊

[@lynnkepoo2418]

I know exactly what your going through!! I had a hysterectomy after having my son because I almost bled to death. Then he was fully breastfed till 2 years of age then it took me another 2 and a half years to fully wean him. I was a recovering crystal meth addict and used the fact that i was breastfeeding as a way of staying sober. I had a therapist who helped me a lot with the emotional roller coaster of weaning. The fact that breastfeeding actually relaxed me and would put me to sleep was physically hard to get over as well as the sadness of loosing that time we shared. He is now 17!! You are such a wonderful mother and a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your real life issues. I love that your so relatable. Keep up the good work!! Your amazing!!❤❤

[@hannahsmith4869]

The last time my mom cried about breastfeeding me was when I was 20! (I have IBS and she was sad that breastfeeding me for longer than my sister didn't make me immune to more things) It's worth saying that I am grateful for the fact that she fed me from her own body, but she's continued being a wonderful mom for my entire life. There's nothing wrong with a good cry! You've got a beautiful, loving family and I'm so glad that you've brought all of us along for your journey, both good and bad.

[@kwrightmpa]

Hang in there! Do what you can and take each day as they come. You are remarkable. I experienced sadness when I could no longer pick my children up and carry them on my hip. That was a reminder that the kids are too big and are growing up. Now I mark milestones based on their ages which is another reminder that my children are grown but will always be my babies. Blessings to you and your beautiful family. 😊

[@rohinisubash7067]

I started crying when you started crying because I went through exactly the same emotions after weaning off little one at 3 years. Just because you have stopped breastfeeding, doesn't mean your bond changes. It is only onwards and upwards from here on. Hang in there! ❤️

There are so many stigmas around pregnancies, giving birth, parenting, and more. Plus I normally feel better after I cry because it’s all the pent up feelings and emotional that you have in your head coming out physically. You’re human, a great woman and an amazing mom don’t forget that!! Just do you and that will be enough! 😘😘

[@girlonfire2.076]

Having children while it can be fulfilling under the right circumstances it still seems hard an it's good to be honest I think it's only recently that mother's have started being honest about it., Fyi ..I don't have any children an don't plan on it but it doesn't look easy

[@Lrbrz]

I love that you talk about realities of postpartum. It’s so important. Everyone should be aware! And I love that you have such a supportive husband!

[@sentoaseuili]

U got this and keep praying 🙏

[@jssberry]

Megan, it's okay. It's okay to cry, to have those ups and downs, to feel tired... It's completely okay to be human. And I'm thankful you're allowing us to see this side of it because no one really talks about this part of it. You are a GREAT mom. And you are doing the best you can--that's all you can do. Keep taking it one day at a time and know that we're rooting for you. Love you and prayers going up. ❤🙏🏾 I also have an ugly cry so I understand. I stopped caring if people see it, but yeah it does get hard to talk. 🤣

[@erikao2257]

You’re so amazing Megan!!!

[@leslietookes8257]

Megan Moon you're an awesome mom it only gets better from here and you'll be able to really enjoy them more the responses that you get from them now that they're older as the Bible says this too shall pass 🙏🥰

This happened to me after my 4th bub huge gap between my 3rd and 4th bub. I was breastfeeding and only chose to go back to work after my daughter was ready to take a bottle so I did both formula and breastfeeding. My hormones did change and having no support myself I just look at my kids more and keep myself intact with there faces as my motivation to keep going. Thank you for sharing this in my culture being a Pacific islander they don't understand what it is until I had to teach our elders what it is. Many aloha to you and your beautiful family

[@laurens8056]

Thank you for this!!! I’m hoping to get pregnant this year and this stuff is so good to know about beforehand. Your honesty and transparency really do make a difference! I’ve been enjoying your videos for a while now. Hoping the rest of this transition gets a little easier for you. You’re a great mom!

[@soraya4891]

You are doing the best you can. Be easy on yourself. You know what is best for your family.

[@gracefaith447]

Lunar❤ I really like babies who eat well. They have grown so much. I started watching you when you were at the postpartum facility and I’ve been hooked since. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I am learning. Love from Zim🇿🇼

[@sandrac3789]

((((Megan))) What you are feeling is perfectly NORMAL. If you asked 100 new Mums how they truly felt. I think you would be surprised by how many feel the same as you. And you don't need to breastfeed to feel that way 😢 I had postnatal depression and it's the pits. We don't ask to feel this way. They tell you all the rainbows and unicorn stuff when you're pregnant, they don't tell you about the gremlins. You are not ALONE. I'm a seasoned Mum with 4 grown kids but boy can I remember how I was when it hit. I still feel guilty on how I was. As a Mum and Wife. My husband wasn't supportive. I felt like a freak. It took me a long time to realise that I was 'ill'. I wasn't a bad person. You are Beautiful inside and out. The babies absolutely adore you as does Mr Moon so you are doing everything right😊 Take time out for yourself.❤ Remember, YOUR body housed and nurtured not 1 but 2 little humans. That in itself is truly AMAZING. Pat yourself on the back. Don't beat yourself up. This will pass. Just give it time. Sending you lots of ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@zenobiabrown7383]

Hang in there sis. A lot of us have gone through what you're feeling and the feelings are real. You are an awesome, beautiful, funny, loving mom and wife. I enjoy your channel and your beautiful family.

Postpartum depression is very real. Even two years after having my daughter, I still suffer from some symptoms. I remember dreading breastfeeding sessions because I would always be overcome with such depressive thoughts while breastfeeding. At the time I didn't know that it's normal for new moms/moms to feel like that while breastfeeding. It felt like complete doom. Luckily, I didn't experience depression weaning my daughter off breast milk, but I felt a bit bad because the reason I was weaning her was because I couldn't stand the feeling I felt whenever she would latch on. On the other hand, since I was either dealing with people who claimed to have never experienced postpartum depression or who had never had children, during my my daughter's first few months of life, I felt so unseen and very helpless. It also didn't help that one of my aunt's (my mom's Likes younger sister) passed from cancer shortly after I gave birth. Like someone mentioned in their comment, be kind to yourself Megan. I feel you're doing an amazing job as a mom. Mom guilt is also a very real thing, unfortunately. No matter how much work one puts in, there's always the feeling of not doing enough. Keep shining 🌞 You got this 💪🏾

[@siska_yulianti]

Megan, I cannot imagine how crazy and emotional this roller coaster is because I am not pregnant yet. But, oh god, the PMS mood is already wrecking my mood and routine. YOU ARE DOING SO WELL MAMA, our body is impressive in fine-tuning itself again after bringing 2 little angels into the world!

[@karencruz3122]

Megan, NOBODY talks about this!!!! We are finally discussing post partum depression here in the US but the post breastfeeding depression is news to many of us! It makes so much sense though! OMG! Luckily, I was able to breastfeed all of my children for a solid 2 years each (none of them would take a bottle). For me, I feel that we each had the right amount of time for both of us to wean naturally without disrupting our hormonal balances too much. My last one was a little more difficult so she did breastfeed a little longer than the others. I have heard of the sadness of when baby wants to wean before we're ready. No one ever explained it though. You are helping so many families by sharing your experience! Women will be better equipped to discuss this with their family and their doctor. No more feeling ashame like we're crazy! This is why we have to talk about things more!!!! Thank you Megan for shedding light on this important topic!!! 😇 Real talk... I seriously cannot wait to see your family again!🤗

[@purpl3gemini]

As a new mom myself I didn't know about the weaning depression. Thanks for always being transparent and real and honest. My breast feeding journey hasn't gone the way I wanted so I've been forced to pump. But it's still very time consuming and draining. I appreciate you for sharing such your experience.

[@BlissfulMartini]

I’m not a mom, but I’ve been watching you for years now and I’m happy that you have places to go that make you happy and can take your mind off of how you’re feeling. I’m also happy you have people to talk to when you’re feeling sad. In the moment you’re just venting to a camera but in the end you’re sharing your story with so many people who have been through, or are going through the same things you are. Thank you for letting other women know they’re feelings are valid and normal and that nothing is wrong with us. Things will get better for you! 💕💕

[@elaniarkady7351]

Many hugs! Be kind and patient with yourself.

[@fatimamolfa8141]

As a mother o 2 months colicky baby I feel you. It's so hard. The constant crying. The sleep deprivation. The contact naps. Stuffing your face in two minutes like you're in a contest instead of eating peacefully. Showering in 2 seconds. The lack of alone time !!! Actually I don't know how would I feel having a twins. One is takina a toll on my mental a physical health and there were times that I really hated being a mother. You are a warrior Megan .

[@teddie552]

Can totally relate. My breast feeding journey was so hard and ended before I wanted it to and it got me really down.

[@LaLa-kl8iz]

Once you're done breastfeeding, please take a red maca root supplement. It balances hormones and reduces anxiety/depression by increasing dopamine production!

[@xsunnyy]

Hey Megan, you're doing an amazing job, don’t be hard on yourself. You got this! Bless all of you ❤

[@brandonk99ign]

Megan, I love how honest and transparent you are about your journey. Been watching you since the beginning. Don't ever feel you have to hold back crying cause let it all go and know we all love and support you.

[@capnkirkie1]

Awww Megan 🥺💔 She’s seriously an amazing woman and Mom. She works so hard and is a fantastic mom. It’s so sad to see her down ☹️

[@amymitchell7405]

I have a 9 month old daughter and first time mom here. The postpartum journey is extremely difficult! I have cried so much the past 9 months! And being a working mom does not make the journey any easier. I have struggled with not pumping enough at work, trying to introduce solids and still breastfeeding, the little time my husband and I have with our daughter because we both work, giving up my dream job of 9 years to get a job that gives me more time with my family, practically winging everything and not truly knowing what to do, and the constant changes my daughter goes through in such a short amount of time. I just constantly feel like I am failing as a mom, and my husband has to keep reminding me I am doing an awesome job. Here is is a reminder for you and all the momma's reading this: You are doing an AWESOME job and you are a WONDERFUL mom! Hang in there! This is the most difficult yet most beautiful and rewarding time of our lives!

[@Ndisalive]

Megan! You've been teaching me so much since you started your channel. My little self watching the korean language tutorials, to the outfit music videos to the work contests! Honestly youre the best of the best! ❤❤❤❤ we are here with you with lots of love and support! You've always given us your time to vlog and such. Inspiring to say the least 🎉

[@MrsMeganMoon]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for the long term support and love. I appreciate you so much!

[@Ndisalive]

Of course! 😊 THANK YOU❣️I look forward to the next vid with your next adventure on this journey! ❤

[@MinnieMishka]

As a new mommy to a two month old. Thank you for this. These raw feelings. The openness and vulnerability. I’ve been following you for years now and I love you and your family so much. Thank you so much. ❤❤

[@DE-so1xu]

The baby giggles are everything! You and Mr. Moon are doing an amazing job!

[@mhulan7]

I love how honest you are with your videos and comfortable enough to be vulnerable. When I breastfed my son and decided to ween I cried every day. It all makes sense now, so thank you for making videos like this and sharing your journey with everyone. You’re a phenomenal mom!

[@sowanderlost]

You got this Megan, sending you love and light. You’re amazing ❤❤❤

[@wombmate1669]

Meghan, you’re so strong, resilient and beautiful. It’s normal to be emotional postpartum. Stay encouraged. The toddler stage last always❤️

[@jordy8059]

I started formula feeding at one week, because breastfeeding was too hard on my mental health. Anyone who breast feeds, you're AMAZING. Anyone who formula feeds, you're AMAZING. Feed your baby. Thats all that matters. Also, formula should be free.

[@SeekerKC]

I nursed my baby for 2 1/2 yrs. She started to wean herself around 6 months before, & I can recall thinking around that time "Can post partum hit this late in the game?" I just rolled with it; thinking I was just being silly. I didn't even think to look it up or speak with my doctor. That was 18-ish yrs ago, & this was the first time I've heard about depression from weaning our babies. It makes _a lot_ of sense, tho! The main thing with which I struggled (besides feeling somewhat blue), was the loss of something in which I had felt so much confidence in as her mother. Breastfeeding came very easy to us. She took to it immediately, & I felt zero discomfort. It was the one thing I knew that I was doing well, & one day, it was just _gone._
