PPA & PPD

I just had my baby 8/1 and severely struggling with anxiety and depression. I’m constantly thinking something is going to happen so I don’t sleep. I’m constantly checking on him throughout the whole day and night. I’m running on minimal sleep and don’t know how I’m going to survive once my husband goes back to work. I feel so alone. I love my baby but hate the newborn stage because of what it’s done to me.

When does the sleep get better

My LO is 7 weeks tomorrow and his sleep has not been great lately. Firstly it takes me absolutely ages and at least 2 failed transfers to get him to sleep at night. He needs to sleep with boob which I always give. We are currently co sleeping but even that’s not helping. The moment I leave the bed he wakes up. Also he is SO fidgety during his sleep, always moving around. I understand sometimes after a feed he might want to burp but when I try to burp him sometimes nothing comes out! Is this a phase? Will it get better after 8 weeks.
Please send help, advice, anything!

Day/night confusion and feeding schedule at 3 weeks old

My little girl is 3 weeks old and already one 6 feeds per 24 hours (bottle fed) (drinking c700ml per 24 hours) with good nappy output and she’s very content generally. I have observed though that in the last week or so she’s been very hard to wake up during the day and wakes up on her own during the night every 3 hour or so, when she used to do longer stretches before. Both the midwife and the responsive feeding team have said that because she’s putting on weight nicely + content + good nappy output, we don’t need to wake her up during the night anymore and just take her lead. It does seem like she’s confusing day and night and I would like to readjust that so that her longer sleep stretches are back to being at night.

Any idea on how frequently we should feed her during the day to help promote longer sleep stretches during the night?

She’s on day 6 of her first set (of probably 7 or 8) of casts to treat her Talipes feet, not sure if the weight of the casts/inability to move her legs wake her up at night… We keep her legs elevated to help avoid toe swelling.

Cluster feeding

Has anyone come out the other side of this yet? 😅 and if so, how many weeks along until it finally eased off?

Our LO is only 2 weeks old so know it could be some time yet.. 👀
