Struggling

My baby girl is two weeks and I completely understand the lack of sleep and coming from a mom wide awake at 2:30 AM currently breast-feeding I get it! Feel free to send me a message to vent…

The newborn stage is often reffered to as the trenches because it can be very tough. Have you spoken to your husband about your fears of waking him? I was stressed about this with my first, when I finally raised it with my hubby he said that he was a parent too and didn't expect unbroken sleep every night, while I still woke up alone to feed during the week (because he needed to work) I was less stressed about waking him and it felt a lot easier.... Your boobs hurting sounds like it could be a clogged duct or just your milk coming in, try hand express a little and massage it regularly. If it feels hot to touch or you start feeling unwell please speak to your midwife or GP (UK based so relevant medical person in other countries)... You are not alone, newborns are intense and a lot of work... But as a mum of a 6month old and a 3 year old it gets better and you will sleep again ❤️ try keep your expectations of yourself low and be kind to yourself, you are doing great!
