Struggling with New Motherhood: Am I Failing My Baby?

Venting time. My boobs are so engorged I feel like they're going to pop, I already feel like I'm failing as a mother. My baby refused to latch this morning so we already had to give him a bottle at just 4 days old. Last night he refused to sleep unless being held, not going to lie I fell asleep holding him at one point. My husband is trying to help but I wanted to punch him in the face when he tried to tell me he'd been up the same amount of time as me, and then he got to sleep in after I was up for the day. I'm constantly worrying about my baby wondering if he's sleeping too much, eating enough, etc etc. This is hard.

I feel ya! My little girl will be 3 weeks this Saturday and it's been so tough. Breatfeeding didn't work for us after day 5, so we switched to formula. Now I know for sure my baby is getting food. My partner does the same thing, also! I get less sleep than him, but yet he complains about being tired. He gets atleast 5 hours a sleep a night, and that's a bad night with her being up. I get a max of 3 every night, yet he thinks I have things so easy. :/

Try pumping a little before you feed him because babies have a hard time latching when you're engorged. Don't give up if you really want to. You have the milk so he will eat as much as he needs once he gets his latch. If you guys still can't get the latch you might need to get a nipple shield

do what @santistevanmommie said my daughter wouldn't latch when I was engorged or would stop because too much milk was coming down. try pumping when u start feeling full even if it before baby eats .. it took me almost 3 months so my supply can get regulated and I only pump once a day now and before it was 2 to 3 times a day . I have over 800 oz of milk ..

I had to pump to help that and also bout a nipple shield. and had to wear them for two week before my daughter would actually last one to my breasts.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

i finally let him do it I finally let DF throw away my foundations. He says I look better without it. He said he hates seeing me cover my face with make up when I can just wear mascara and eyeliner. He says it makes me look fake and he said he's not saying it to be mean, hes saying it because he cares. Im glad he's real with me. He says I have natural beauty. He says he doesn't like it when I dye my hair or wear make up because he loves my natural beauty. I know some girls feel as though that they need make up but they don't. Make up to me is just to do it for fun and sometimes when I feel insecure. Hes the only man that has made me feel beautiful without my hair straightened, without make up on and in my baggy clothes. I can burp in front of him, I can do weird things in front of him, etc. He has taught me so many things in the last (almost) 3 years and im so grateful for him. He taught me how to make pork chops and steaks, how to play some videogames, how to make white rice, how to budget, etc.

I don’t know what to do... my son is 9 months and he is lazy but aggressive... he wants to move around and he can turn around but he refuses to crawl and uses me to pull up to stand up... he doesn’t want to be bothered but wants the help ... he’s so peculiar...he can put himself to sleep but if I’m not in the room he’ll throw a fit until I pat him to sleep.. depending on how he feels... I’m loosing my mind because I don’t know how to deal with him
