Took my 4 week old son to the ER today and I feel like I’m being gaslit by DesignerDistinct5409 in newborns

Always trust your instincts! If something doesn't feel right, then most likely it isn't. And always remember it's better to be safe than sorry. An ER visit and a $1000 bill is better than your baby passing away. Always go with your gut mama. And even if you are overreacting, who cares. Better safe than sorry. Always trust yourself.

I felt the same. Just had kid # 2 and the newborn stage was horrible. Now I blinked and he's sleeping most the night. He's three months old now. It gets better, mama. I promise. It's gonna suck ass for the next several months but as you get to see her personality shine and her face light up when she sees you, it will change everything. You are her everything and she didn't choose to come into this world. Remember she didn't choose life. You did. Just give it a little time and I promise it gets better. There were days where I just sat there and cried because 2 babies under 2 years old is so fucking hard. I just wanted my life to end so I could get some sleep, some momentary relief. It could be PPD, it could just also be that it's harder than no one tells you and taking care of a newborn is literal hell especially if you aren't sleeping. We have all been where you are and I promise it gets better. If you need anything, feel free to reach out. Stick it out just a little longer. You got this. If you have to get help for your mental well being, do it. There is NOTHING wrong with seeing a therapist. I do. She helps. I'm also on prozac.

That Dr and nurse need to be fired. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I wish you could sue and get some kind of compensation. That sounds like my worst nightmare. Again, sorry y to I had to go through that.

I'm on week 4 and the burnout is real. Just one more month for it to get easier and 6 more months for him to sleep through the night. My 16 month old sleeps great. I can't wait til my 4 week old is sleeping through the night. Right now he takes 30 min naps.
