A mother who had just given birth made a singular comparison on social networks after discovering the face of her baby. Internet users immediately reacted to what they call awkwardness, when they do not speak of wickedness.
The arrival of a baby brings a lot of joy, but also apprehension. Especially at the time of childbirth which is a real ordeal for all future mothers. But also for the future dads who must accompany them! So much so that certain circumstances can lead parents to pronounce absurd phrases during childbirth, as an anesthetist recently confided, with humor. Others, on the other hand, arouse discontent, as revealed by our colleagues from parents.fr.
Indeed, in an article published on July 3, it is reported that a mother made quite an unexpected comparison to qualify the physique of her newborn. On her own Tik Tok account, she wrote: “I thought my baby was going to be handsome because his dad and I are attractive. I gave birth to a real little potato“. Inevitably, the reactions were not long in coming… For many Internet users, these comments are “bad guys”. “He doesn’t look like a potato, leave him alone” can we even read, in response to the publication of the mother of the newborn.

A common feeling linked to postpartum depression
However, this awkwardness should be put into perspective. A psychologist specializing in perinatal support explains to Santé Magazine that it is common not to find your baby so beautiful at birth. “What you have to understand is that, ultimately, not having love at first sight is common, and it’s okay to feel that way. We can even laugh about it, make it light” believes Mathilde Bouychou (Health Magazine). Nonetheless, even if this feeling is not abnormalit is advisable to consult if it were to continue. “When the mother experiences a certain rejection and this look does not change in the days or weeks that follow, she must go see a specialist“wishes to underline the psychologist.
This phenomenon is also reminiscent of postpartum depression, which is also frequent and often linked, and which does not only affect mothers. Indeed, the Daddy Blues does exist too, and the symptoms are not quite the same in men as in women. And if you find yourself in turn confronted with the “ugly baby syndrome“, know that there is no point in feeling guilty. Quite the contrary! Parents who have already had to overcome it regularly testify on parenting forums, thus delivering their experience to give you the right tools.
