Why am I so exhausted even tho I do nothing but care for my 2 month old baby? Like even when I get a moment to myself I’m just drained. 😩

I'm exhausted too, my baby is 4 months old, you're not alone xx

Do you get much sleep? How are you feeling emotionally? Do you have enough support? Do you feel like you can get everything done that you want to get done?
There's heaps of possible reasons why. Caring for a baby is exhausting. Your whole life, body, mind identity, and brain had changed. You may be deleted in essential nutrients (it's so worth doing a full blood test. E.g., you may be low in iron and then the exhaustion is at least somewhat fixed by taking iron supplement)

Just like your body built that baby from scratch, is rebuilding your hormones from zero, you are missing vitamins, minerals etc as well. Your body has to recoop while being under stress and with barely any sleep… girl a better question would be if you arent tired .. how? 😅

also a 2 month mommy here! i feel the exactttt same way! 🥲
