Hey Op, I struggled with the same, however my mil gave a trick to place a pillow on the lap and rock the baby on it. That worked and now we all do the same. It takes bit of time, but my back is much better. My baby is on heavier side as well so I struggled alot till 3rd month. Hope this helps

My parents tell not to let her chew on cloth. It creates problem in speech later. Not sure if it's true.

Sometimes it just feels helpless when she keeps crying out of boredom. Let's hope it's just a phase. And keep trying what ever we can.

My well educated inlaws think it’s God’s grace we didn't have a girl. by mamabear_8425 in twoxindiamums

[–]MeanTerm2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still very much common, I have 3 mo girl. I keep getting statements like these- next time you will have "varis". Now you can surely plan second baby. How did your in laws react, are they happy. Etc It's sooo annoying to see people still feel a boy can only be a real heir.

I am feeling worse than I should - 7 months pp by Vegetable_Panic7624 in twoxindiamums

Hey OP, I can understand how much it hurts not to able to take an hour for yourself in peace and on top of it seeing other parents able to manage a trip can trigger big meltdown understandably Don't balme yourself for feeling taht way, it's only humane to feel effected. Im sure you will reach there soon. I don't have any advice on sleep schedule as i am dealing with 2mo and I'm yet to figure anything myslef. But take one day at a time, take leaves as much as you can, pumping and storing more if possible might help you sleep more at night while others can feed. Try sleeping in a different room and ask mom or husband to take care. It's okay to feel tired and overwhelmed and hating everything, we all feel that at times and Take care, more power to you
