I hate the newborn phase..
Honestly, whoever said that newborns just sleep and eat and poop clearly never had a newborn, lol.
Our LO is 3 weeks and 3 days old and I'm already going crazy. She slept so well the first few days but I now know it was just because she was recovering from birth. Now she drives me mad 😅 She is fighting falling asleep every time and when she finally sleeps it's a 50:50 chance (and I think I'm being generous here) that she stays asleep.. sometimes she wakes up after 10 minutes and everything starts from the beginning.. It doesn't even matter where she sleeps, on me or my husband, in our bed, in her own bed.. she mostly sleeps between 1,5 and 2,5 hours.. rarely 3 hours..
Then she has so, so much gas and just wants to eat so much.. She also fusses when her diapers are wet - I get it, would hate it to sleep in my own pee, too. But when I see/read people saying to "just not change during the night" it's a little frustrating..
I know this is a lot to ask for, but I would be so, so happy if she would just sleep 3 hours at once.. maybe sometimes 4. That would take so much pressure out of everything. But I think I'll have to wait a long time for this, huh? 😅
And when I hear people brag about how fast their baby's slept through the night, I just want to crawl under a rock and never come out again.. at least I could sleep there.. I'm so afraid it will go on like this forever
