I tell you what, if my second was my first I’d probably only have one child
I love my second so much obviously, but when I say she screams every second she is awake I mean literally every second and this has been going on from day 2 of her being here and she’s now almost a month old
I am losing the plot, I am exhausted, my first born is being so good about it all thank god because if I was her I’d be begging to send the baby back 🫠😭
I cannot wait for these newborn colic days to be gone and I feel so guilty about it but I am honestly having such a shit time compared to my first

I feel like I could have written this. I’m struggling this time around too, and I feel guilty because when I was pregnant I promised myself I’m going to enjoy the newborn phase.

Were currently 4wks in and I count down the days for when it will get easier, I dread the nights atm as ebf and doing wakeups solo. Relieved toddler is ok and not being a nightmare 🫠

I really wanted to enjoy the newborn stage but my toddler is being a nightmare and especially at night! I can feed baby and then soo bad he goes to sleep my toddler is awake for hours on end and refuses to go back to sleep then baby wakes up again for a feed with toddler still awake and kicking off 😂 very tired mummy here 😂
