    Feeling like a bit of a failure

    First time mom and I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't understand the different types of cries, the longest stretch of sleep overnight he's gotten is 2.5 hours, I misinterpret his cues all the time. Currently up at 3am with him because I thought he was hungry, but he keeps smiling and...

    7 Weeks PP and ready for the 2nd

    I was not expecting taking care of a newborn to be so hard

    FTM here. Has anyone else attended pregnancy courses, read books and thought "Okay, simple, feed them every 2-3 hours, breastfeeding is natural, burp, let them sleep, change diapers when needed, do tummy time, show black/white cards and that's it. I got this " And then the reality hits - baby is...
