You're absolutely right. The culture of "baby first" leaves mothers feeling invisible right when they are most vulnerable. My mom told me after my birth, everyone asked about me and nobody asked if she had eaten or slept. If the mother is supported, fed, rested, mentally okay - the baby automatically thrives. It should be mother AND baby, not mother VS baby. Thanks for posting this.
