Judging myself hard on how I am raising him

I am a FTM and have no family& friends bearby to help me sail through my postpartum phase where i have to take care of myself as well as my baby while actively keeping track of his milestones, getting him do extra curricular activities like tummy time to build his strength while i am sleep deprived and tired myself hardly able to handle my own emotions Sorry above rhe little vent above. I am judging myself hard because i am not putting my baby on floor for tummy or perhaps giving him sufficient tummy time on floor ro build his core strength or what not. I am judging and afraid that i might be delaying his developmental step unloke other babies of his age. He is 9 weeks old Moms pls share your thoughts.

Witching Hour

I have a 8 week old. He has been such a good boy so far no stress honestly, i should also credit his dad to take the load off of me when needed. But the Withching Hour is what stresses us both out. He diesnt5have colic, i massage him and make him release his gas out frequently so that he isnt in pain, but still the 2 hour loud cry after doing everything is scares us. Does anyone have any tip for handling that Withching Hour episode of the day?

Yes, we do step out for eve walks with him to relax him and hoping he stays asleep when we are back home.
