Chilled baby at the hospital, little boob demon when we arrived home 😭😭 HELP

Our little girl is also refusing sleeping in the next to me. While we watch her she sleeps on our bed with plenty of space around.
Thank you! I'm relieved that I'm not alone. How did you get through the colostrum days before your milk came in, did you pump as well? X
It was hard. And she wanted to be attached to boob all the time. I only managed to get through with introducing formula. After that she was easier to settle and her hunger was finally sated. I pumped as well to stimulate the milk.
Believe me you are not alone. It is all pretty normal for everyone at this stage. I bought myself nipple shields for feeding, silver shields and lanolin cream.
Thank you ❤️ Right now it's starting to feel like I won't survive this 😭 But at least I'm not alone.
I know what you mean. What you are feeling is baby blues. Hormones crash after birth and so does the mood. I've had really bad anxiety in the first days, was sleep deprived from the induction onwards and then no sleep at home either. And then there is mothers guilt. I felt many times this week im a bad mother and questioned if I will manage this. My mind went dark places until we arranged that sleep routine and I managed to get some sleep. Trust yourself, you can do it ❤️
Totally normal, our little girl was the same 😊 it'll pass before you know it! We are now five weeks in. Honestly just go with the flow 🩷🤗
Hi, this is normal. The first day after birth they usually sleep a lot. I was in hospital for a couple of days due to C-section and my little girl was sooo peaceful the first day. Next day however a completely different story. She would cluster feed, never leaving my boob. This is natural as the baby is helping you get your milk in to match demand. I know it is hard. I got nipple trauma from it as she wouldn't latch well. First few nights at home were hell but now she seems to have settled better. She is now 1 week old. I recommend that you make a little schedule for you and your partner or if you have someone helping you. My fiance and I have a night time routine. I watch her while he gets 4 hours of sleep and then he watches her while I sleep. If you can try and pump. I unfortunately don't have enough milk yet so we use formula as well. He feeds her formula while he is looking after her. Hope this helps.
