I’m so tired 😪 need to vent
FTM. I came to the USA 3 years ago with my husband, so we are alone here. Our baby (7 weeks) has reflux, he is usually pretty fussy m, now he has been fighting the bottle to eat, but he is hungry, and he wont eat. He’s sleepy but he wouldn’t go to sleep. I feel like his stomach is hurting but this has been going for almost a week. My husband went back to work today and I’m going crazy. Idk what’s going on with him, I feel a horrible mom because I have no idea how to help him. Sometimes I wish I was back home, but I know there’s no way as of now. I feel like I’m never gonna sleep or be myself again. I have PPD and I just don’t know what else I should do. 🫠🫠

Hey do you breastfeed or formula if you give formula maybe switch the formula I had the same problem 😭
You could try having a babysitter come and help you that has experience with newborns. Babies feel the stress of their environment so if you’re uncomfortable and in distress they will feel that. I wish you were close I would just come help you my baby’s 7 weeks old and we’ve definitely had some sleepless nights so I feel your pain. If you can’t afford hiring help you might be able to find help from the church, growing up there were a lot of volunteer mothers that would help other mothers, and if you are a different religion that’s great maybe you can find help that way too

Hi, your baby might also be going through his growth spurt 6-8 weeks so he might be extra fuzzy . i give my baby some belly rub clockwise to release gas and doing bicycles with his feet usually when he wakes up and before going go sleep. I also hold him up for 30 mins after feeding and try to burp everytime . Im in the same boat, i have no family here and sometimes i wish im back in my country, i would have lots of help. My little one just turn 9 weeks his sleep got better. Hopefully this helps and your a great mom
