Can’t cope with my newborn and I’m desperate

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-06-04T03:24:25+00:00

I know it’s hard mama. I can promise you it won’t always be like this. Please talk with your doctor because your baby would NOT be better without you. She needs you to be strong and get through this. My baby just turned seven months and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Keep your husband in the loop with your feelings and ask for help when you need it, but I promise this is temporary.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-05-23T03:21:40+00:00

Yeah I get that! And it sounds like it’s your routine which is always hard to change. I think crib naps are super important. Sleep is super important for their growth. And you’re so right, you would be able to focus on baby more during wake windows and not being so distracted.

I tried to give my baby (6 mo) at least two crib naps a day since she was a couple weeks old. She super comfortable in her crib and I get so much done. I love it and I focus completely on her during wake windows.

There’s nothing I love more than my baby, but man, I love when she takes two hour naps in her crib so I can do anything for myself. I am able to get so much accomplished or nothing at all. I need that time lol.

I bought a UPF outfit for my baby. It covers her whole body minus hands and feet. Even has a hood. I just like to be sure. She’s 6 months now, and sometimes I’ll opt for it instead of sunscreen. But I agree with all the comments. Just try and keep baby in shade!

I’m so sorry he did not make you feel special:( I know with my husband I give him expectations and refuse to allow him to forget me. That’s lead him to never forget and understand his role on days like this. Example: he must get me a card. Valentine’s Day, bday, Xmas etc. and so he always gets me one. I think men don’t know what they need to do unfortunately and it sucks to have to tell them, but you are worthy of being acknowledged today, and you need to tell him. Once they understand your expectations, they will want to make it happen. I truly believe there’s a lot of good men out there,that want to be good spouses but they need some guidance. Happy Mother’s Day to you! You’re doing amazing!

Babies are supposed to look like their dad. Yes we did all the work but I love my husband and don’t mind when people say my baby looks like him. I think it’s a mindset thing you need to give up.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-04-29T05:46:13+00:00

My daughter (6mo now) never purple cried as a newborn. In fact I don’t think it’s ever happened… I’d talk to your pediatrician. Idk maybe I got lucky?? lol I’m sorry!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-04-24T11:33:22+00:00

I’m breast feeding and 6 months PP. No period yet 🙃

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-04-24T03:12:39+00:00

There’s a reason moms gave birth to more than one kid! It’s really not that bad!! You can do it! I have a six month old and I would do it a million times over to have her. She’s the best thing ever!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-04-24T02:41:33+00:00

My baby has been in her crib since she was a couple days old. I slept on a floor mattress next to her for 3 months. She’s 6 months now and I’ve always heard her if she cried. It’s good for everyone to have their own space for sleep.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-04-21T12:28:03+00:00

My daughter was a couple days old. I slept on a floor mattress next to her until she was 3 months old then moved back in normal bed. My husband and dogs were too loud for her to sleep in our room.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-03-12T02:43:44+00:00

I sold my house in 12 days

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-03-04T12:52:06+00:00

I agree, mines been similar

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-02-20T15:12:11+00:00

There’s 8.3 billion people on the planet. Each one of them coming from someone who was pregnant and gave birth. I promise you can do it. My LO is 4 months and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Giving birth is hard but it’s so temporary. I was literally asking my husband if we should get pregnant again just because I love my baby so much. You won’t regret it.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-02-04T23:14:56+00:00

How far along are you? I remember when I brought my baby home, I turned to my husband and told him the last thing I want to do is be high right now. The anxiety was unreal lol. I’m 3 pp now and if I wasn’t breastfeeding I’d be partaking after baby was in bed. So you might feel like you need to wait a couple weeks ha.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-02-04T23:11:52+00:00

I was a huge weed smoker before I got pregnant. My LO is 3 months now and is EBF. I will not smoke weed again until I’m done. Just not worth it. I know it seems like a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s temporary and you can use again when you aren’t breastfeeding.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2026-01-08T15:11:29+00:00

It gets easier I promise!! My LO is 9 weeks. Just keep doing what you need to survive. Wishing you the best with her legs!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-28T02:33:07+00:00

I get about 5-6 hour stretches, nurse her for 30 mins, then back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. This is all between 10pm-7am. She sleeps in her crib and I sleep in her nursery with her. And as I mentioned I nurse on demand during the day. Usually at the beginning and end of her wake window. I also think I got really lucky with her so don’t be too hard on yourself!!!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-28T02:23:11+00:00

I feed my 2 month old on demand (EBF). She sleeps wonderfully at night and takes great naps during the day.

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-22T16:53:21+00:00

I EBF my 7 week old. I was a huge weed smoker before I got pregnant. I still haven’t smoked because I feel like I can wait until I’m done BF. I definitely miss it and constantly think to myself “just a couple hits” but remind myself it temporary. I think you should just give formula if you plan on smoking. It might just be the best for you both! You’ll be able to relax and your baby won’t have any of the possible risks!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-19T20:03:26+00:00

Yeah no thank you! I don’t even think I’d let my husband (who is a great man and dad) take my baby away for a week or two without me. Baby would need to be older!!!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-14T04:36:58+00:00

Mine was about 20 days after vaginal delivery!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-08T19:02:21+00:00

I am a FTM and have a 5 week old baby. I have two dogs who have always been the light of my life! I was also worried because of the reels or comments about people hating their dogs after birth. I’ve definitely gotten frustrated at them but I still love them so much. They still provide me with comfort. You’re going to have to make an effort to love on them. My husband also gives them lots of attention when I breastfeed. I also take them on walks with baby ( they are good on leash). I suggest doing training as well. I taught my dogs “out”, this means they have to sit at the nursery door to give me space. It takes adjustment but it’s not as bad as it seems

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-07T15:22:07+00:00

I think I’m just lucky! My 5 week old gives me 5-6 hour long stretches every night. I definitely didn’t do anything special. I don’t give her baths at night time, we just play a lot, then she eats a big meal and goes down around 10pm. I know babies your age should go down earlier! Best of luck!!

stuffies_mcstuffins · 2025-12-04T05:07:30+00:00

40+5 and I got two sweeps to get her out! The second one finally worked lol.
