Help a mama feel better

Hey mama,
I feel you and I was in the same boat... what I can say, things changes, it is not an easy stage at the beginning but then gets better, trust me! My LO is now 4 months and I'm loving now every single stage, it is not easy but we learn to see some joy through the process💙

I was like this with my first. I thought I would love having a baby but she was a terrible sleeper. I was EBF so night time depended wholly on me and I was truly sleep deprived. We would end up sleeping most the day just to try and catch up on some sleep and my husband was not what I thought he would be in terms of support (this was due to his own struggles at the time). I struggled at nighttime with anxiety and lost all self confidence. I loved her so much and I was obsessed with her but I wasn’t having fun. It does get better and I started to enjoy it more when she could express her personality. I do think it truly depends on your experience and if they aren’t sleeping well, it’s literally the worst thing ever, it truly makes you feel like you can’t be a good parent. A parent that has had a good night sleep and one that hasn’t is entirely different!
