How do u moms get through the first month of baby's life? The no sleep, eating all the time, night feedings, not able to put baby down to sleep,etc is really starting to get to me. I'm feeling over this whole thing. Any words of encouragement or advice will help.

genuinely it is hard, frustrating and overwhelming.

I check for wet diapers throughout the day, make sure he's clean and dry.

I feed him, burp him and he takes cat naps, but that's why u have the Moby wrap, he falls asleep while I get to get things done...

then right before his father gets home I massage him, bathe him and then feed him... he Knicks right out.. only wakes up to feed and does it with his eyes closed lol.

i was always frustrated , i had no sleep , i was falling asleep feeding the baby she always had gas pains ( i switched her bottles to the dr browns bottles because of her gas ) when she slept i slept forget about the cleaning and cooking because its not easy and i would go days without taking a shower i know disgusting but it was exhausting , then at one month exactly i started giving her cereal at night in her formula and she got used to it so now during the day she takes little naps and she will sleep during the night , itll get better trust me and if the baby likes to swaddle , swaddle that baby up ! lol it helps

Just remind yourself you're doing great and it'll get better in time. I slept when the baby slept and when I felt like I got enough sleep, I would eat when he slept. Most of the time I would go without eating though, so I made smoothies. Easier to handle while feeding baby and what not. Try different things too to soothe baby. There's A LOT of trial and error. If you ever need any help or advice this is the place to go momma we got you!

You'll do great! You are already a great mother and your baby loves you dearly.

Thinking about that precious baby you have. Pray and keep doing the best you can for your little baby. It was so hard but I got through it and I feel like a great mom. I love the look my child gives me. He looks at me like I am the best mother in the world!😊

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasnt there a user that was drugging their baby with tylenol or Benadryl to get them to sleep all day?

How do you get your baby out of the habit of being rocked to sleep?

mitiacarolina3 @modom16, it’s just so hard because he’s not crying from hungry or a soiled diaper... he doesn’t
modom16 @mitiacarolina3, I’m sorry your struggling! Just know it’s okay to give in sometimes, we’ve all done it.
mitiacarolina3 I’m going to start over tomorrow morning... tried tonight, gave him a bath around 6, read him

I am so sick of...

people saying "enjoy your quiet time now", or "get your sleep while you can".
