Am I alone?

Moms…
My son will be 2 months old in a few weeks. With the early wake ups, long wake stretches with crying most of the time…
I am starting to have the feeling that I don’t even enjoy holding him. I thought I dodged PPD this time around but I feel like it’s creeping up on me. This isn’t my first kid and this babies cry is almost like nails on a chalkboard to me. Am I alone?
Does anyone have any tips to get longer stretches of sleep through the night. I feel like that is a big factor.

He will go to bed around 11:30. Wake up at 4ish and stay away till 8 and then take a nap. I’m tireddddddddd
Help!

AnE ??

Maybe I’m over panicking here - all day my son (3) has thrown up, if he ate (toast) he throws up, even without stomach contents he’s throwing up, has water, he throws up - he hasn’t weed since 9am when he did a poop. He’s very tired - this is a AnE trip right or am I overreacting ?

I’m already packing a bag as I write this but…am I being a panicked mum here

Going out during one and only nap

How do you do it?! I took my daughter out this morning and she fell asleep for 15 mins in the buggy at about 11am, and has been resisting her main nap today. Do you keep babies in the house in the morning to avoid this occurring? How do you do it?

HELP! Mums that have got through the carrier stage…

My daughter is 3.5 months and sleeps well overnight but won’t go anywhere during the day for a nap except the carrier. Great because I can be on the go and I know she will sleep for up to two hours in there, but I’m starting to feel quite claustrophobic which zero time to myself.

How have people in a similar boat managed this please? If I put her in the pram and walk, she will sometimes scream for the entire thing (up to an hour) regardless of how many times I pick her up and put her down. It can be soul destroying. Occasionally she will go to sleep but I absolutely can’t rely on it as it’s maybe one in 10 times.

Any help on how to tackle v appreciated. If I could get to one pram or cot nap a day I’d be so happy! Thanks for reading x

Sleep!

Has anyone got any tips for easing tiredness for the newborn stage?? Me and my bf do shifts atm where we have about 6 hrs sleep each but we’re still absolutely knackered. I know this is just how it is going to be for a while but did anything help anyone? There’s only so much coffee I can drink and it’s not really cutting it🤣
