LPBW's Audrey Roloff on Postpartum Emotions : I Feel Like I Am ‘Failing My Baby’.

Audrey Roloff is smitten with her newborn daughter, Ember. “She likes cuddling on our chests, swaying and when her daddy sings to her,” the Little People, Big World star wrote in an Instagram post published Monday, September 24. But it’s not all lullabies and snuggles. The first time mom, who is married to Jeremy Roloff, revealed that she’s struggling with intense postpartum emotions that have left her feeling like she’s failing her baby girl

“I won’t sugar coat it . . . these past two weeks have been HARD,” Audrey began. “The first 24 hours with Ember were bliss, but after that it was as if I went back into labor again . . . I was well prepared for the pain and suffering that comes with childbirth, but I was not prepared for the pain and suffering that comes afterwards.” The barre instructor, who is breast-feeding, went on to share that she has battled “severe engorgement from too much milk,” blisters, bruises, clogged ducts and mastitis an infection of the breast tissue.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the pain that I’ve experienced while breast feeding has been comparable to unmedicated labor contractions,” Audrey shared. “Inevitably, all of this has left me feeling like I am failing my baby, frustrated, discouraged, and heart ached.” But Audrey assured her more than 647,000 followers that she won’t give up. “Even though the tearful sleepless nights persist, so will I,” she wrote. “I will continue to pour myself out in sacrificial love for this baby girl who makes every hurt worth enduring.”

Audrey’s post received nearly 3,000 comments. “This is exactly what happened to me. Mastitis is no joke. Dreams of what it was going to be like bringing our daughter home were replaced with pain. It was overwhelming.
