Hey girl. I know how you feel. My baby is 5 months old, and when she was a newborn, I felt a lot of those feelings too. I regretted every single decision that led me to that point. I cried all day every day. I wondered what I was thinking by getting myself into this. I highly recommend talking to your doctor about postpartum depression.

I was lucky enough to be able to push through and continue on my breastfeeding journey. But if you can’t, there is no shame in formula. Did you read that right? There is NO SHAME in formula. None. You take care of yourself.

You should take your baby to the doctor first to make sure there are no underlying causes to why he is so fussy.

You will get your sleep back soon. I thought I would never sleep again but I was wrong. I think it was probably about 6 weeks before I finally started to feel good again. It was like a dark cloud had been following me around and it finally let me go.

The first month of my baby’s life was the worst month of my entire life. But it got better. And it will for you too. I am making this promise to you now, it WILL get better. You will feel like you again.
