Sleep divorce w/ newborn
Me (27M) and my wife (27F) of 3yrs this October. Had our first child. She is 5Weeks right now. My wife and I tried sleeping in separate beds. For two weeks (it has been brutal on me. I’m not sure how she feels but she says she doesn’t like it either. (Don’t know how true that really is or how bad it is for her). She is sleeping with the baby in the bed. Which we have been trying to get her(baby) in the bassinet we bought (it swivels so it can get right up next to the bed and close to momma.) baby doesn’t sleep at all but maybe an hour or two at a time and only once during the night in it. Anyway I have tried communicating to my spouse that I’m having trouble and she doesn’t seem to either understand or know what else to do all she wants to do is hold baby. And take care of her she is saying nothing at all matters about our relationship now that we have a baby. (Which I feel is not correct.) I am trying to communicate but she’s feeling stressed overwhelmed and burnt out to the point she’s sleeping till 3-4pm and constantly holding baby. I NEED HELP and helpful advise. I feel worried and anxious about our relationship along with trying to get our baby sleeping.
TL;DR
I need advice on how to help my marriage coping with sleep divorce and a 5 week old new baby sleeping. A stressed out mom and dad. Our fist baby.
