What the heck’s happened??
My 5+ month old night time sleep is pretty regular, bed around 7:30pm, usually wakes after 10pm for feed (and also wakes around 3am, 5am etc) but tonight she’s refusing the bottle and refuses to be put back into her crib, is only sleeping in arms or next to me in our bed, been waiting for a whiiiiiile to make sure (seemingly so) she’s fast asleep before attempting to transfer but immediately starts to cry once in the crib, checked her nappy, room is a good temp, I’ve been checking her over as well as well my husband but nothing obvious???
Anyone had this sudden out of no where change?
Baby blues?
I am 3 weeks post partum and have a beautiful baby girl. I of course love her more than anything, but I feel terrible that I am not enjoying motherhood at all. I haven’t felt that bond with her, and don’t feel as though I am very good at being her mum.
My partner is great and finds it so much easier than me, he burps her, feeds her, changes her and soothes her a lot better than I can. When she’s in my arms she never settles and wriggles constantly, I also feel guilty that I get a dead arm when I feed her and can’t wait to put her back down in her cot.
Every day feels the same, and it feels like I’m doing very regimented chores. I don’t understand when people say things like “soak it all up” and “enjoy your baby bubble” as I just don’t have any positive feelings? I’m posting this to ask if anyone is feeling the same or if anyone has any tips/advice to make the days feel easier and to not stress out about every little detail? Do people actually enjoy these newborn “trenches” despite it being hard?
