@g19shooter Postpartum life is isolating, even moreso when you’re an introvert. Don’t have friends or a “community” other than family (who mostly trigger me these days). :/

@ericaleefrieden Introvert here too! It sucks.

@ericaleefrieden Introvert and not living in my home country , imagine the sadness

@notyouraveragejoe Having a baby in a country that doesn't feel like home is just next-level isolating. Solidarity

@g19shooter At 12 weeks I'm still putting him down already asleep and hate myself each time. He put himself to sleep maybe twice, and I'm too scared to try again.

@counselorwriterdad Idk how people can do it with them awake

 

[johnny1217]

@ericaleefrieden Me either. I don’t know if I have an exceptionally alert infant or what but it doesn’t work for us. And I’m far too exhausted at this point to keep trying.

@counselorwriterdad I’ve given up putting him down in general because he wakes up in 5 mins even if he’s dead asleep he just sleeps in his carrier during the day and miraculously will go down at night

 

[counselorwriterdad]

@brian1992 Literally same.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

@counselorwriterdad Same here, it take bloody murder cries and it breaks my heart i cannot do it, she has to be dead asleep to put her and she wakes up even in maximum 20 mins
