My baby is a little over 9 weeks old now. I'm trying to get into a light schedule (I know I won't be able to stick to the schedule always) but I still dont feel like im able to take care of myself. Even my basic needs of showering and eating. My husband helps me out throughout the day, but for some reason I still feel like I can't walk away from her.

How do you talk yourself out of needing to be there 24/7 when you know she will be totally fine for the 15 minutes you'll be away.

I'm going back to work mid July and I don't even know how im going to survive it.

Hi everyone. First time posting on Reddit so bear with me.

Im a FTM and my baby is 9 weeks today. I was hoping to have the hang of everything by now, but im still learning aw I go. I dont know if im putting too much pressure on myself, but I just want to give the best version of myself to my baby.

My husband tells me all the time im doing everything I can for her, and she's happy and healthy but I feel like i could be doing more.

Am I the only one feeling this way, and does it get easier?
