Yall… I’ve had the kind of night where I found myself crying with my baby. 😓
He was so fussy & cried so much.
I’m not even going to lie, I’m finding this newborn phase incredibly tough.

Me too! 😟

That was me yesterday. You got this mama! ❤️

Wow last night was a rough night for me and baby too struggled to settle and was a bit fussy

Me last night! After two good nights 😂🙈

I was told yesterday that Night 2 is the hardest one & it can happen for a few days.
I wish someone told me it sooner, I didn’t know.
Spent that whole night crying with baby downstairs as I didn’t want to bother anyone. Next morning when everyone was up I asked for help, let them watch him and went for 2 hours sleep.
Be patient, except help/ ask for help when needed. Don’t try to do it all on your own.
A calm mummy is a calm baby, it takes time to know there cues as to what is wrong & if your stresssd out at the time it will take so much longer.
Feel free to give me a message if you want to chat about it at all ladies! I’m now on day 25!

Was me last night too! 😫

Me too! I was not ready 😭

Night 2 for us was a disaster & I had to leave to sit in the toilet to cry it out as I didn’t want me being upset making her more upset. It’s incredibly hard, there’s good days more than bad now. There’s maybe 1 day a week now (she’s 7 weeks), 2 at most where she’ll have a fuss all day & night & nothing works but it’s better than it was from night 2 for the first week. The newborn stage affects everyone differently but do be reassured it does get better
