@Cass this part. I definitely see my self in a difficult dark place bc it’s so hard to get out of it sometimes
Not as tired as newborn nights but definitely more irritable with everything around me. Lots of financial stress on our family and rethinking my career path.
@Rhiannon Rethinking my career path too! 😅
@Cass same I’m so burnt out! Were you able to figure out what’s causing the stomach issues?
@Precious try to get a break when you can! Have your baby’s dad stay with him and try to do something with some friends if you can! That helped me soo much
@Cass yupppp!!! Doing it alone on top of all that whew 😩🥲 I love her so much but I’m overwhelmed and deff burned out and trying to so hard to not fall too far down in the dark place
@Liorra with all these doctors appointments he has, I can’t even work😩 his help😂 that was a great joke I needed. He only shows Aziels attention when it’s convenient for him
@Precious ohhhh damn he’s one of those 😫😫😫 but honestly I hear a lot that men just don’t know what to do with a small baby 😂 not an excuse tho!
@Liorra this is third child girlfriend. He can be and see his son whenever. He just chooses his other kids before me and him
@Precious smh!! I’m sorry ☹️
I am working part-time, trying to figure out my next career move. The baby's dad stays in the room with the baby at night so I can sleep, I stay in the living room. Practicing mindfulness and engaging with five senses the present moment even though my mind wonders a lot, but accepts that it's OK to wonder about the past and present, as long as I make the conscious effort to bring my attention to the present moment
3 months pp….i have more energy finally.. slowly back in the gym. Not losing any weight despite my efforts lol Baby is happy and healthy.. breastfeeding is draining Hoping to go back to work soon as I changed my career path Honestly it could be worse, that’s what I tell myself to keep myself in good spirits. Good luck and I wish you all well mamas
I’m on auto pilot right now and BEYOND exhausted. He’s still up for feeds at 10, 12, 3:30, and 6. He only falls back asleep when he eats and I’m just loosing it. I’m finding myself getting frustrated with everyday things and zoning out quite a bit. The things I’d do for a full nights sleep but I’m livin that single mama life🙃🥴
The sleep regression in day and nighttime is somethin serious

@Vanessa I love that he sleeps with baby so you can get a good night sleep! And yes definitely!! You got it 💪🏽
@Nickie same here, a little more energy finally! But I keep telling myself that I’ll go to the gym but keep postponing lol. Breastfeeding and pumping is sooo draining! Can’t wait for her to start eating food 😫 Good luck to you too you got thissss
@Shelby ughh I’m sorry 😫😫 it’ll get better!!! stay strong you got this!
The newborn stage was surely a lot Getting use to having a baby with us :) It is overwhelming Pumping, milk supply dropping. Now sure how everyone handles
@Komal right!! Same same! I think the whole milk supply thing is what stresses me out the most right now, really can’t wait to start feeding her food!
@Liorra We're still trying to figure it out. Between a foremilk and hindmilk balance on my part and me having to eliminate a bunch of stuff like dairy, spices, and tea. We're still trying to figure it out. Honestly, it seems like Little Man is having issues relaxing his butt muscles so he can pass gas and poop. He refuses formula, and I prefer not to use it anyway, so he's strictly on the boob.
@Gee it's hard for me to put my little man down and walk away sometimes, and I just feel like a failure when I can't seem to help him. Even if I do everything right, I still feel like I'm wrong
@Cass ohh damn I’m sorry hopefully it will get better soon 🫶🏽
I feel for the single mamas out there. You’re amazing and I don’t know how you do it. 🫶 I read the first year with a baby parents average 4 and a half hours sleep a night and that’s with two parents so somehow your functioning makes you superwomen. Seeing these comments make me feel a lot better. I started working out two days after delivering. Just a light hike and pelvic floor exercises. Then gradually moved up to Pilates for about 30 mins. For a while I was driving myself nuts counting calories, daily workouts, alarms to pump every two hours for months, caring for my newborn and four dogs, I continued working part-time throughout and made a rule about being on the phone or having a tv on near my baby.. I’ve still stuck to all of this besides the pumping alarms since my baby feeds often anyways but am not as hard on myself when I don’t keep up with it all every day. Just grateful that I have the support I do and we are all healthy. You’ve got this mamas!
Experiencing some mom burnout to be honest. Between the teething, being over tired 24/7, and the stomach issues. He's crying a lot. I enjoy our happy moments, but I'm overwhelmed.
