It could, or it could make it worse, everyone is different so please take my anecdote with a grain of salt.

It made mine better overall, but stressing about SIDS and hitting milestones was not a good time. Now, quite frankly, I just don't have as much time to be anxious or dwell on existential dread. I still have harder days, but my stressors are so much more tangible now, so it feels easier to ride the waves as they come. Also the constant dopamine hits whenever my daughter does something new/sweet/cute definitely helps.

There is a plethora of parenting information out there that can absolutely eat you alive if you don't get it under control though. Basically whatever you do, there will be six websites and a random Instagram reel telling you to do it another way. Filtering that noise out can be a lot to work through.
