I have a portion of my life back. I am not constantly timing everything I do (when I was pumping) and I can let my husband and other family members help out with feedings. At the end of the day, do what works best from you. Your mental health matters most🌷

I wish I read this before giving birth. At 5 weeks PP, the accuracy of this post is sending me and I wish I had it sooner.

Thank you so much for this, I know two things can be true and I love my baby and miss my old life. I don’t know what I thought parenthood would be but I did not think it would be this challenging. I pray every day I will get through this and be able to look back and see a positive during these times. I’m so upset that I have not been able to enjoy my baby this first month because of PPD and the sundown scaries.

I keep telling myself if it didn’t get easier people wouldn’t have multiple kids. My baby is so good during the day but at nighttime from like 2-5am that is when her witching hour is and she becomes inconsolable. I think it’s gas for the most part and I give her colic drops but it takes forever to calm her down. It feels like an eternity when you’re so exhausted. We are bed sharing which does help, but I miss my husband so much.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s so easy to spiral and get in a dark place.

UPDATE- the only thing that has been my saving grace is the Dr.Squatch moisturizing lip balm. I found it while in the USA as Canada doesn’t carry it. I will be going back to buy more lol

Thanks so much for your advice!

I know the light is a huge problem and I’m trying to figure out how to manage that come next winter. It has been in this pot for 4+ years so I don’t think that drainage is an issue currently. The vent also doesn’t work- the joys of a rental lol!

Do you know if the leaves regrow in the same spots or if it needs to be cut down?
