Feeling hopeless

So my baby is one month old and doesn’t seem to want to sleep at night and is constantly wanting more milk but will bring it back up after 5 minutes he doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort or pain as he doesn’t cry o squirm. I really don’t know what to do I feel like I’m failing him as a mum because I can’t figure out what is up with him. I generally feel like I’m not cutout to be his mum and feel like he’s be better off with someone else 😭💔

You are never failing your baby, mumma🤍 it’s okay to ask for help the newborn stage is mentally challenging no matter how your baby is doing. Is your midwife contactable? It may be something little like (if bottle fed) the teets aren’t the right teet as it’s to do with airflow? Xx

@Shelby he is bottle fed I’ve already switched bottles once he was using the dr browns but started to fuss and cry very feed so I switched to tonnes tippee and he just plays with the teet in his mouth

Hm strange, I would definitely contact midwife or health visitor to ask for advice you won’t be looked down upon! You’re doing the best thing by asking for help. You can message me whenever 🤍

Newborns have no understanding of day and night and with short days it will be extra hard. Maybe try and get out in as much natural daylight as possible. On the milk, maybe a different teet, but contact health visitor too in case they can offer some advice. Best of luck. You are smashing it in ways you are not even considering.
