My 4 week old wants to be on the boob 24/7 and I hate my life right now

I love her to death but she just cries and freaks out until I give her the boob. Sometimes she will eat which takes around 10-25 min but sometimes she will just latch but not suck and eat. I know she is doing this just for comfort and of course all I want is her to feel happy and safe and comforted but it’s nonstop. She doesn’t want a paci and I’m a SAHM so don’t have help from my wonderful husband from 7am - 5:30pm. What do I do? I’m getting so frustrated that all I can do is just let her be on the boob while I cry for hours just to keep her happy.

FTM here! My baby is about 3 weeks old now. She was born with dark straight hair like mine. I’m Filipino and my hair is dark, straight, and thin. My husband is white and has thick curly hair. His was bleach blond when he was born but now it is brown. Is it possible that her hair will become curly in the next few months? How did your kid’s hair change after they were born?

My husband and I just had our first baby - she’s about 2.5 weeks old now. He will have to go back to work in a few weeks and I’ll be a SAHM. How do I enjoy it as much as possible? I’m worried I may get into a “can’t wait until nap time” mindset and I don’t want that! I want to play with her, help her learn and grow, and enjoy every stage as much as possible but am not sure how to do that without feeling overwhelmed. We are not doing any screen time until she is old enough to understand and enjoy her VHS movies on an old cube TV so I will have to keep her entertained myself with her toys (not electronic) and being outdoors, etc.

Also I’m still healing from c section so it’s a little hindering at first.
