FTM here, my baby is 8 days old and i’ve barely been getting any sleep. The last two nights i’ve felt so overwhelmed and ended up crying because i feel like im doing a terrible job and doing something wrong. My baby is so settled during the day but so much harder to get to sleep at night and i’ve tried so many different things, the lack of sleep isn’t helping me at all. Would love to get atleast a 2 hour nap 🥲

A lot of people say oh he’s such a good baby, he’s so calm and quiet. Yes of course he’s quiet whenever he’s been rocked and held but when it gets to them early hours trying to settle him coming from a tired recovering from emergency c-section mum it is not easy and he is not calm🫢
