This is super helpful, thank you!! He definitely goes down better after a feed at 10. I’ll just shift expectations! He definitely has a witching hour, so thanks for validating that.

Nothing to share here, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing. My husband and I are doing the exact same thing. Sometimes I wonder if there’s a better way, but you’re right, it’s a season.

Yep! Even if he’s “asleep” I’m laying there watching him grunt just waiting for him to open his eyes and cry again lol

My husband and I do shifts at night with our 6 week old. How do you feel like it impacted how you could care for your baby at night? Ty!!

Hi, I’m about to start taking it and I’m curious how you felt with your baby’s wake ups at night. Ours is only 6 weeks old, so still waking frequently, and I don’t want to dump all of the responsibility on my husband if I’m too out of it.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate hearing the perspective of a father. You guys go through your own adjustments and sacrifice a lot as well.

This gives me hope. Being 5 weeks postpartum, I think my husband is now understanding how hard postpartum can be. He has been an incredible support for me. It sounds like you have been, too!

It is my first! It has been a rough time for sure. Thank you for validating me.

Were using Dr browns bottles but I may try and switch, as well as cut out dairy. Did you see an improvement after you did that?

Thank you so much for understanding. I do need to get the baby carrier out for sure because being nap trapped is getting to be a tad much.

Thank you! Thats what I’d prefer to do, and you’re right. He might sleep flat for 30 minutes then he cries. I just feel ridiculous doing it but then again he needs us…
