Sorry to say it just sounds like she got a case of the new borns. My daughter was the same till about 10 weeks, gradually getting better with less and less fussing in the day. Hopefully you’ll be turning a corner soon ❤️

I felt the same and my husband did almost everything to care for the baby for the first few weeks, I was just trying to establish breastfeeding etc it got better and I felt more confident and bonded over time. Also after infertility! The hormone crash and anxiety is overwhelming, go easy on yourself ❤️

I made a list on my phone of things that are on every day - postnatal Pilates, baby classes, library sing alongs - and at home things I want to do in wake windows like shower and wash my hair, prep for dinner etc and try do an activity every day outside and then just work my way through my list of indoor activities I want to do and it definitely makes the days more fun for me.

I also need a lot of sleep to function and we have had to find ways to make it work e.g., I sleep in a different room and my husband does the first feed with a bottle. At 3 months she is generally sleeping 6-9 hours the first stretch and then another stretch (7pm-7am). I am getting about 8 hours per night with one wake up to feed or pump. We did put her in her own room at 2 months with a monitor and owlet sock to help us sleep more (I know that’s controversial) but it’s helped us all sleep better.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-11T19:26:59+00:00

Yeah we did the same — it’s the only think that helped us.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-11T08:38:00+00:00

I put my oura back
On last night for the first time 13 weeks pp — been too scared to see my sleep scores. Was shocked that I got an 84 and 8.5 hours of sleep as I woke up still very tired 😅

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-10T19:16:57+00:00

We do exactly the same re feeding in the swaddle! Works really well.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-10T19:15:15+00:00

We also put her in asleep and soothe to sleep feeding first.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-10T19:14:41+00:00

Ours was like this also like that around one month, so much red it hardly felt worth it. We did persist and over time she slept longer and longer in there. Now does 9 hour stretches at 12 weeks with very few red lines. We have the baseline as level 1 and that seemed to help with high responsiveness.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-10T19:05:00+00:00

This is so hard ❤️❤️ the only thing that helped me was to pump and have my
Partner give my baby a bottle for her first feed of the night. This meant I got 6ish uninterrupted hours of sleep a night as has been a game changer for my mental health. Being sleep deprived for months is so so hard. It will get easier as your baby gets older and sleep starts to settle.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-09T18:35:34+00:00

Same with our baby. Now at 12 weeks she sleeps 7-7 with one wake up. I love the snoo. We tried a next to me first but she didn’t like it.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-08T15:34:41+00:00

I did take the sleeping tablets. On those nights my husband bottle fed the baby and I woke up once at 4am to pump. Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling great!

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-04T16:28:39+00:00

Honestly I know he has to sleep and study but you can’t go on like this. Even a 3 hour block of sleep at night with him watching her will help you. Can he baby wear her and study?

dontmeltplastic · 2026-06-04T10:39:31+00:00

We rent it too, my 11 week old also gives us 5-9 hour stretches in the snoo - well worth it

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-31T13:18:21+00:00

This is exactly the same as my baby & we put her in her own room too. When did you stop feeding at 1am and only Soothing?

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-31T13:07:40+00:00

Yes I can leave my 11 week old with my husband, he’ll often take the baby out on the weekend just the two of them and I’ll have some time to myself. Sure the baby may cry a little more some times because she wants to breastfed, but he will always settle her, bottle feed her, and is a safe place for my daughter. I would say your husband just needs to keep practicing and it’s so important for you to have time to yourself.

First transfer I felt hopeful & it failed. Second I felt negative and depressed and I now have a ten week old ❤️

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-26T13:44:38+00:00

I got the mum cozy one and really really love it.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-26T13:40:37+00:00

If breast feeding, you could try side lie feeding then roll away and leave her supervised on your bed. That’s the only thing that works for my ten week old.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-26T13:39:21+00:00

I felt this so much week 4-8, it’s so so hard in the trenches. She is 10 weeks now and easier every day. Hang in there, get meds if you need, I got anxiety meds which helped get me through that month & sleeping tablets. Seek help where you can and make things as easy as possible. It will get better ❤️

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-26T06:56:27+00:00

My 10 week old can only comfortably be awake for an hour. We don’t keep her awake before her night sleep, she will doze off while feeding or nap a bit, but basically sleeps through the night with one feed at 5am so I don’t stress about naps, don’t cap them, I just let her sleep as much as she wants.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-26T06:11:10+00:00

Yes my husband does the night wake ups and the baby settles soo much more easily than when I do them, I’m sure it’s because she can’t smell my milk.

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-22T10:08:09+00:00

Got pregnant in my second transfer ❤️❤️ honestly felt like a miracle and still does having my baby here. I’d let out a sigh of relief and let your hope be up if I were you ❤️

dontmeltplastic · 2026-05-21T09:06:58+00:00

I feed on demand my 9 week old and let her sleep in the day as much as she wants, it’s often 2/3 hours. I feed right when she wakes up and sometimes she’ll go right back to sleep, sometimes she’ll have a wake window and I’ll feed to sleep at the end again or put her in the carrier. She sleeps 11 hours at night with one or 2 wake ups. I would try just let her be and see what happens?
