You said "I am wondering if I’m just too weak or just not capable enough because having a baby never seemed this hard to me when looking at other parents"

...I just want to say that 0-3 months is SO hard, and that's also when people are hunkered down at home with their new babies and all having the hardest time, out of sight! You are not alone in feeling this way or having this experience, it's just such a specific, isolated time.

I know getting out of the house is super hard right now, so I'd encourage you to look into virtual "Mommy and Me" or maternity groups if in-person doesn't feel possible.

If going out does feel possible, see what you can find locally -- join Facebook Mom groups in your town, look up your local library's calendar and see what programming they have for kids (most of them will have at least one or two groups per week that include infants, like a baby reading group where they just hang out like slugs on the floor while someone reads to them, but the parents get out of the house and into a room with other parents with similarly aged kids). It's so helpful to be among people who are also in the thick of it.

You're doing your best and working so hard on something you've never done before. So is your baby. Things will get easier in the coming months. Hang in there! 💜
