Struggling…

Those easier days are coming so soon ❤️ you’re absolutely smashing it girl. Newborn stage can be such a rollercoaster

I felt exactly like this at the same stage❤️ for my the cluster feeding peaked at 6 weeks and I felt like giving up. I pushed through and so glad I did. Everyone told me to wait until 12 weeks and things will turn around. I didn’t believe it because even at 9/10 weeks our girl screamed constantly and fed constantly. At 12 weeks it’s like something switched and the crying reduced and feeds started to space out. She started sleeping through the night a couple weeks later.
Feeds are now every 2 hours during the day (sometimes hourly in the evening if she’s cranky or extra hungry) and none overnight. She smiles loads and occasionally laughs. She rarely comfort feeds now and feeds went from 1 hour down to 15 minutes. I know even getting through 1 day feels impossible but better days are coming and they’ll be here quicker than you think xx

I’d like to add you to a WhatsApp group so we can all help each other make it a bit easier. Send me a message x

It gets better hunny! It doesn’t feel like that yet, as your in the trenches of the newborn stage but in a few weeks time you’ll looked back and think wow I really did that and got through it! Then in a few years time you’ll think “god take me back to the newborn stage” because as a toddler mum, it’s hell here🤣 but in all seriousness, talk to people (family/ friends, or my messages are always open!) and please be open with your partner about the way your feeling too! ❤️❤️

I feel you. I’m 4 weeks in - I’m so tired, but holy shit, I love her to pieces. I’m a solo parent, but I’ve broken down and cried to my family. I look at friends who have older ones, and it gets better. It just doesn’t feel like it when you’re deep in the trenches. You got this mumma.
