I've had several times where I've thought, "Why did we do this?" or "I think I made a mistake." I'm still not sure I remember. I think for me I just don't find this stage very rewarding - when some more engagement and personality come online I am assuming I'll feel differently. For now I'm finding it hard, particularly navigating the demands of this other life and dealing with being more isolated than before.

Y'all, newborns are time-consuming and none to one is a complete life shift. It will not always be this exact way - babies start interacting more, you get into a routine for leaving the house, you find your new normal.

You're a parent now, and you weren't before. It's a big change. Give yourself and your SO all the grace and second chances, because it's hard. It's hard.

While I'm not glad others are struggling with the adjustment, I am glad to know I'm not alone, and someone else understands what I'm feeling and experiencing. It's hard to say outloud sometimes, and it's nice to know that other people "get it".

Hopefully everyone else adjusts smoothly!

SLEEP.

TAKE THE SLEEP. LEAVE THE LAUNDRY.

We both dozed off in the chair. I got up to put her in her bed and she woke up

She's been extra challenging the last few days. Today was better than Friday and Saturday though.

THIS.

Also, I feel I have a special perspective inbthis since I was OAD.

Going from no kids to one is 102939746362627 times harder than one kid to two kids. So please, give yourselves some slack because it's hard and a big adjustment

Update: Fed L like you all suggested (to get a nice long feeding) and had H watch him while I took a nap. I woke up to H who was freaked out because L slept 2 hours and was still passed out cold. Probably could have let him sleep another hour, but it's okay.

Seems it's working so THANK YOU all. Could also be that he was cluster feeding before and now he's not- either way. Sleep is good.

., it took us over three years and one iui to get DD. I took the same attitude as you, and DS was born 19 months later. I'm thrilled with it, but just know that fertility doesn't always stay challenging.

mosdub, both my kids had good latches and I introduced a paci at 4 days old with no issues. Helped sleep,soothing and my nipples so much!
