I cried a lot,
it had been a very long labour,
and I was very tired.
I had many visitors right after the birth,
and I hardly slept at all for 24 hours.
I was hungry, I didn't eat enough at the hospital.
I couldn't recover.
It was a difficult time.
After 2-3 days at home, I was tired,
I had a fever, my breasts hurt...
I ached, I was very sleepy
and I couldn't sleep because of the baby,
I could take care of the baby,
but I was too tired to take care of myself.
But my mother knew I wasn't well.
My mother encouraged me, helped me,
she visited often,
she took care of the baby,
which gave me some time for myself.
What's her name?
Ayna.
It happened on the train,
two female Innu elders were talking
to a woman who was breastfeeding.
They told her that if she spoke Innu to the baby
while breastfeeding, it would understand everything.
