^ Same boat! My LO is 2 months old and I try so hard to comfort him as quick as possible
@Daria ugh I can relate! I try to remain calm because apparently they can sense when you’re stressed but how can I not be when she’s blaring in my ears! Getting her to sleep is the worst part and that’s when she wants to let the world know she’s tired and wants sleep but also wants to fight it! I also literally am screaming from the bathroom at my baby to comfort her whilst I use it trying to reassure her I’m coming. I hope the anxiety gets better because I am like dying to get out of this feeling of being on edge! It’s so tiring mentally and I almost want to runaway and hide from her behind my husband but also love her so much and want to spend time with her. Counting down the days when it gets easier. We got this girl 🫡
Yes literally feel like my brains gonna explode no one gets it when I try explain it 😂, my brain actually hurts from sleep deprivation 😭
Yes! For the last few days I’ve been saying wow! I am overstimulated but then I catch myself and try to change my perspective and say okay this is just for a moment, it won’t last long. Remember mummies, it’s okay to feel how you’re feeling. As much as we are learning our babies, they are adapting to the outside world too. It’s okay for baby to cry for a little bit, just breathe and try to remain calm. Babies cry, it’s how they communicate with us. It’s upsetting seeing baby upset but take it as a sign that they are just adjusting and letting us know what they like and do not like. X
I know this might be a bit controversial but I suffer badly with loud unsolicited noises so when my baby was newborn and use to cry for hours at a time I use to wear the foam ear plugs. I could still hear everything but my god it took the edge off! Especially when they take long to settle! I do the same thing when I’m in the work staff room and people munch loudly on food 😂 just any noise that I don’t want to hear loudly = ear plugs
Yes! That anticipation of baby screaming. When mine starts to fuss i already start panicking 🥲 i sometimes hold him whilst he is crying and cry with him. He cannot be put down at all during the day, constantly held, and when i put him down for a second to use the bathroom or wash my hands i do it so stressed that he will cry. And i feel so overwhelmed when i can’t settle him, it’s a terrible feeling not knowing how to help him. You’re not alone.
