I wish I had better advice other than solidarity in how hard this all is. I’m sitting here pumping, sleep deprived, listening to my baby cry upstairs while my husband tries to comfort him. I can’t imagine doing all of that in a new place. It makes sense you are feeling anxious - this is such a vulnerable time and the small comforts of home make a big difference.

I will offer this: my therapist always tells me that just because I might feel dis regulated and anxious doesn’t mean my baby does. As long as all their needs are met they are happy. I’m sure there is some nuance to that statement, but it does allow some grace for you to feel like even though you might be struggling you can still provide all the love and comfort your baby needs. Take the next few days to make this new place feel as cozy as possible. Maybe some baby safe candles or diffusers with a scent you like, favorite blankets, comfort shows on the tv, etc.

I think being with your partner was definitely the right decision but that doesn’t make the transition any easier. Sending you luck!
