It gets better

[billycress]

Here (9 weeks) having my first hot cup of tea, on my own, since she was born. The house is silent whilst she’s napping in her crib. Doesn’t sound like much but it is one of the most satisfying feelings I’ve had since giving birth and if you’d told me I’d ever do this again 4 weeks ago I’d have laughed you out of the room. Didn’t come to brag, just to say it gets better it’s the little things x

Edit: upon reflection, I wouldn’t have laughed you out of the room at 5 weeks, I’d have told you to F off whilst sobbing hysterically.

@billycress Needed this thank you

@billycress I hope so! Six weeks for us and I’m exhausted. Baby has been fighting sleep and hates his bassinet, stroller, and car rides.

 

[managedsurrender]

@twoohfour On the same boat !!!! And also fighting naps/sleep gets overstimulated overtired and cries her eyes outttt

 

[christianforumperson]

@twoohfour 6 weeks and we endured 8 hours of hell 2 days ago. 3p-11p just fighting sleep. There was nothing other than being held that would calm her, but not even get her to sleep.

@twoohfour 6 weeks here too and I feel like we’re back in week 2. No sleep, constant rocking and fussing all the time.

@twoohfour 6-7 weeks is beyond exhausting. 8 weeks now and still hates the bassinet/fights sleep BUT the long crying fits have shortened and it’s gotten easier to soothe her.

@twoohfour 4 weeks tomorrow and I feel this so hard. My son’s eyes are red and swollen from fighting sleep. But I still refuses to go down unless I hold him the whole time.

@billycress My baby is 12 weeks and has been napping so well in the crib the past week! It’s been so nice to have some time to myself, but at the same time I just watch him on the monitor and miss him

@billycress At 5 weeks and needed to see this. This little girl will not let me put her down and will not nap longer than 5 mins unless it’s in on top of me.

@urc2xh2iac3x Also struggling hard at 5 weeks

 

[jayney81]

@urc2xh2iac3x Yes! 5 weeks, almost 6 here. You are not alone, I’m struggling with the exact same thing with my little dude.

 

[christlikekingdom]

@urc2xh2iac3x 5 weeks almost 6 here and I’m in the exact same boat. It’s exhausting!

 

[abhishek]

@urc2xh2iac3x exact same boat for us… 5 weeks and hates napping anywhere but me or beside me…
