Words of encouragement needed

im sorry mama I know what you are going through. Im sure itll get better hang in there 🥹 Theres days when my girl is the same now that shes almost 4 months she will stay on her play mat or swing for a bit longer but there used to be a time when she just wanted to be held. I think as they get older they are able to distract themselves more.
You’re doing good and youre a good mom 🥹🥰

You’re a good Mama, baby girl sounds so loved. Remember this is a temporary season that’ll pass. It’s okay to not enjoy every season of motherhood or to not miss this part of it. Keep doing what you’re doing, baby girl will remember always being loved.

thank you so much fit the compliment 🥺 it’s so encouraging to know that she’ll find other things that interest her once she gets a little older.

aww thank you, Magen. Making her feel loved is my ultimate goal. And I literally thought to myself earlier “I won’t miss this part of the newborn phase at all” so thank you for that reassurance as well as your kind words 💛

You got this momma!! I think October baby girls only want there mommas because my little one is the same with me I just try too hold her as much as possible and cuddle! Your little girl definitely appreciates you so much giving her the best love a mom could ever give! ❤️

I went through that at 10-12 weeks too. I pulled out noise cancelling earmuffs to dampen the sound so that I was able to continue caring for her while reducing the noise stimulation. I didn’t find out what actually caused the problem but I will say the noise cancelling earmuffs helped with my sanity.

Just hold on a bit longer mama..... She will soon make a turn for the better. You are the best mom and she knows it. My son is 6 months and he was the same way. Now he likes other ppl and goes to others. Breath.... Think happy thoughts... Sing a song .... Have a snack!! It gets better.

My baby was the same way and I don’t know if youve considered a bottle but it makes a worlds difference in my house. Pumping and bottle feeding so you both get that break and if that doesn’t work try mixing with formula. I cried the moment he had his first formula bottle but caring for you is also caring for them. Keep strong nothing last forever ❤️

did it get better? this is where i’m at now pretty much with my 8 week old that i went to search a post on it lol

lol it honestly got sooo much better! My baby will be 5 months old next Friday and she now entertains herself and plays independently while I get things done. Not gonna lie, I leaned into screen time to distract her when I need to shower, eat, etc. and I also paid attention to her interests so I can do my own thing while she’s occupied. She still has her moments where she wants to be held/soothed by only me of course but it’s no where near how it used to be. Hang in there love - 8 weeks is totally normal for a baby to only want their mama.

thank you sooo much this is so relieving! so happy to hear that!
