Not enjoying newborn stage
Show your support
I have this with both my children. Might be some post partum anxiety xx
My boy is 1 week old and we are going through the same thing! I honestly just want to look at him and cry all the time when he is asleep. When he wakes up he cries. I tried to deploy all the gadgets we have to see if anything calms him down. He seem to enjoy the Rockit and also sensory muslins. I attach rockit to the next to me cot and through sensory muslin on top. Sometimes it helps to distract him
This is my 2nd and I hated the first 8 weeks or so with my first and am not finding this one any better. Having the same issues as you but this time I'm a bit calmer as I know it gets better and easier in a few weeks. You can love your baby and dislike certain stages. You're doing great just gotta survive these early weeks and ask for any help you can get and it will get easier and you'll forget all about it.
I am in the same boat. My little one has cow milk intolerance and sometimes she just screams the place down and there's no making her better no matter what. Hopefully things will improve with time. I had a C-section with mine so I'm not sure if that's a contributing factor.
Yes, i feel the same. She cries bloody murder when I’m trying to latch her. I’m finding it really hard to be patient :( and I get anxious before every feed. but when she is asleep on my chest it’s very healing. Just try and make sure you have some enjoyable moments even if they are when she is asleep! I keep thinking I’m not good enough / that she isn’t happy but everyone is reminding me that I am all she wants/needs. It’s hard to believe but they are probably right!
Do you know if she is dealing with wind? If she is moving her legs and clenching her fists she might be in discomfort? Is she constipated? Is she pooping okay? Is she breastfed or formula fed or both?
