    NICU Fatigue

    @katharine456 So much so on the differences of opinions. It’s like emotional whiplash and just exhausting trying to be the one constant. Thank you so much. Yes, I’m trying to remind myself that I need to be the best I can for him!!

    NICU Fatigue

    @blecap1 You’re totally right about the primary nurse. There are so many things I probably should have spoken up about earlier but I told myself not to make a fuss and to play nice.

    This newborn stage is killer , my boy is 6 weeks and is up every hour or so feeding , any advice to get through this ?

    @tiiira Hi! I’m in this boat right now…. Baby is one month “old” today but only 38 weeks. So did you find that everything for expectations of behavior was set back? I hope this question makes sense…. Very little sleep right now!
