I know newborns are sleepy a lot and my baby is only 3 days old but I have a hard time keeping her awake for longer than 5 minutes on each boob. She latches and she drinks but she passes out so quick then doesn't want to wake back up. So I'm having a hard time with her weight and everything. It's stressful.

Congratulations on your new born woman! First time breastfeeding is one of the most stressful and beneficial things to do but if it's provided make sure you go to the breastfeeding consultant. Also know that these things take time. You can do it!
I strip her down every time just to have the skin to skin. She's almost always naked because yes clothes make her even more comfortable. But I'm gonna stick with it and feed her on demand and do everything I can. I won't give up
@alyssa5792 I've tried switching boobs, lifting her and talking to her, nudging her body and face with my fingers, tickling her spine, cold water on the bottom of her feet. She whines and goes back to sleep or just wiggles and goes back to sleep. Milk as in the yellow stuff? Like stuff squirts out of my nipple especially when I pump and it's white yellow and when I squeeze my nipples I can get good droplets of milk at the time to help her latch on. She just goes to sleep quick. Doctors say she will lose weight the first week but after 2 weeks she needs to be back at 8 pounds. I'm trying not to freak out and be patient and calm and pump and keep good skin to skin. I skin to skin every time I feed her.
omg... I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I hate water so so much, I'm having such a hard time drinking as much as possible 😥
@motheroftwoloves thank you
